dear all,

can anyone help me id this table, it was bought as a set with 3 series 7 chairs. the chairs are genuine jacobsen fritz hansen chairs marked 1995. The table looks & feels (it is very heavy) like a fritz hansen table (unlike the table series the legs screw on to the table) but it is not marked & i have never seen one before.

any help would be much appreciated.

Chris

The legs look the same as other tables by Piet Hein for Fritz Hansen, although I have not seen your three legged version before. Although on reflection I have also not seen a leg made up of just three rods, like your table has, as opposed to four.

I had seen this catalog page online a while back. The page was actually identified as being from a 1979 DUX catalog, and I remember thinking that I had no idea DUX imported Piet Hein tables. I see this page does have a three legged triangular table with legs that appear to be made of three rods.

thanks for the reply
hi, thanks for the quick reply, all piet hein tables for fritz hansen i have seen before have the legs 'pull out' & fix on brackets screwed in to the table (rather than just screw in to the table) which is why i am a bit confused, i wasnt aware they made trisuperelipse in the series so thanks for that.

Maybe GANGSO.............
Their is a three legged FH Hein/Mathsson table. I had a great one with a crazy burl pot smoking top with the proper FH label underneath.
I was offered a similar table but upon inspection found it to be labeled GANGSO Denmark, which is probably a budget copy of the original version by Fritz Hansen. Maybe yours is GANGSO since your tables details match the one i remember, maybe........
