  • Catalogue Essay

    From 1944, architects Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen and Peter Hvidt collaborated on architectural commissions as well as furniture. They designed the present unique dining table for the Basse Villa in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen. The position of the solid ash legs, set back from the perimeter of the floating top, establishes a feeling of lightness, a quality characteristic of the house itself.
