JOHANNES ANDERSEN 1903-1991
Johannes Andersen is one of the Danish furniture designer that marked the Mid century Scandinavian modern design. He was a leading throughout the 1950s and 60s, creating organic sculptural furniture with solid wood such as teak and rosewood.
Born in Aarhus in Denmark in 1903 but unfortunately there is no historical reference. His work align with the second generation of Danish designers.
1957 he begins designs for George Petersen, Hovedstadens Mobelfabrik and Jensen & Lykkegaard. Pieces that were showcased at the Fredericia Furniture Fair with designers like Borge Morgensen, Niels Moller, Nana Ditzel, Kurt Ostervig, Arne Vodder, and Grete Jalk. Additionally. One of his pieces designed for Falster Mobelfabrik was featured in design publications.
His career takes off in 1957. After designing a unique organic coffee table in solid teak model 206/206A for C.F. Christensen
The table is in its vintage condition, slightly restored but the top still needs some love and attention. It is a preloved furniture and It carries the age patina and it should be restored accordingly.
The legs and the structure are in solid rosewood it has a cites that says Dalbergia nigra but I doubt that it is " Rio Rosewood ". It might carry some rio rosewood veneer but In our opinion the top veneer is most likely Honduras rosewood " Dalbergia stevensonii " it is nearly impossible to make sure as the wood was treated and lacquered. The solid wood parts for the structure are in my opinion pau ferro " Machaerium scleroxylon " however further tests and analysis will be carried out to try identify what kind of wood the table is made of.
