Last Thing You Acquired #46  

Just picked up this beautiful SFC Silkeborg mini dry bar cabinet. It's in fabulous condition complete with original key! I thought it was possibly by Dyrlund before going to get it. We discovered the CFC Silkeborg label underneath! Anybody have any ideas as to a designer?

Just picked up a Kurt Østervig gate-leg dining table, a set of 6 D Scan chairs and a gorgeous solid teak and steel coffee table, but I don't know who designed/produced it; any info would be appreciated!

I believe that gate leg table was actually designed by Niels Koefoed.
I would be curious to see more photos of the coffee table. Perhaps the underside. The end grain. Etc.

Thanks for the info Lief. I attached some more images of the table - definitely solid teak and perhaps chrome-plated steel legs? They are magnetic, and have some rust. There is no label. I cleaned up one of the legs and attached pictures of the contrast as well. I'm also going to restore the top; it will clean up very nicely.

Interesting table. I think the legs look like stainless steel (some alloys are magnetic), but I could easily be wrong. This is a lot of teak to use. I think it also might be described as a bench.

Thanks. Do you think this piece is unusual? It is definitely a high quality item. And I've seen two examples attributed to Poul Kjaerholm for Fritz Hansen, but can find no real identification.

It is somewhat uncommon. I am suspicious of the Poul Kjærholm attribution, because PK is a very famous designer whose name adds value to a transaction. There are things that don't look right about the design for me to think it could be a PK. And most importantly, he is so well known that his known body of work is not likely to have missed this table by accident. Finally Fritz Hansen is pretty good about putting their FH mark on pieces; so if it were just one piece they forgot to mark: maybe, but the only three you can find: I don't think so.

Yeah I knew that the attribution was unlikely, but it's the closest thing to a designer name that I could find. The search will go on I guess... Thanks so much for your help Lief!

You might try researching Jørgen Høj.... I don't want to create another false attribution, but he designed some pieces that are similar.

Sorry to digress, but for what it is worth, I am quite sure that the base of that table is stainless-steel (even though it clearly was stained, and magnetic). It is probably a 430 ferritic or 410 martensitic stainless, both of which are magnetic. These alloys will also eventually corrode, as it is not nearly as corrosion resistant as 300-series alloys like 304 and 316. The 400 series alloys are really common for use in the kitchen (cutlery, appliances, etc.), and are quite a bit cheaper than 300 series, typically.

@ Reamie: Nice pick! I believe it is by Illum Wikkelsø.

@ minimona: my mother had a kitchen scale just like yours and your post brought back some warm memories. Thank you for that. I had no idea it was a designer stuff though.

NicholasGlen-your table is similar to a Jorgen Hoj table design as mentioned except the metal legs are oriented the other way and not notched to the underside of the wood top and described as anodized aluminum and the top is of laminated wood veneer. The PK table base is described as steel base.

DrPoulet, now you know where you got it from.

DrPoulet thanks for that! I love the simplicity of it. It's already been stocked and I can affirm it rolls from place to place nicely!

10 feet worth of Finn Juhl's Cresco System for France and Søn, and in virtually mint condition, even including an orginal France and Søn bag with various spare parts. The hardware is quite interesting: the pins are all hand turned.
