Nice coffee table btw.

It looks like a mooring cleat.

BTW I think Danish minimalist furniture sucks. Not that I'm into most of the crap that passes as furniture here; Liberace would find most of it gaudy. But is it too much to have a cushion and armrests on a chair?

Looks like a decent table, but what supergenius came up with the idea to paint it gray?

Um.. my dad and I did, in concert. But it was during the '80s! I'd bought some other white and light gray furniture for my first home. You know.. And my dad liked to paint things.



Lancer, if you don't like the term 'coffee table', you'll be delighted to hear that in Danish it's actually called a 'sofa table'. That's even worse! Who ever heard of anyone putting cups of sofas on a table!?

Do it up. That's a seriously nice table, and probably easily worth $750. Although I'm a little wary of that site Pekka posted. The Barcelona chair is designed by Mies van der Rohe, but the trademark is actually owned by a specific company, and the only true Barcelona chairs are handmade and cost a fortune. £389 each is significantly less. It seems like a good copy, but it is a copy.

What kink of Philistine paints teak!?

Those are all crap. I like the big, giant spool table (intentional redundancy done on purpose).

I just bought a coffee table for twelve quid.
