Vintage Danish Brutalist Oak Dining Table attributed to Henning Kjærnulf, 1960s
Presenting a unique and beautiful dining table that commands attention through its raw, Scandinavian power and architectural presence. Attributed to the visionary designer Henning Kjærnulf, this piece is a masterful example of Danish Brutalist design, where a simple x-shaped form is softened by organic, handcrafted texture.
The solid oak construction boasts a deeply carved, geometric relief, creating a captivating play of light and shadow that is utterly sculptural. Its presence and shape lend the piece an atmosphere of rustic, Nordic grandeur, perfect for gatherings that are both robust and elegant, giving a sense of enduring strength and warm, natural hospitality.
The table's condition is exceptional, with a solid, stable structure free of wobble. The wood grain is a key feature and its natural, textural beauty highlighted by a professional restoration process. We have carefully cleaned, oiled, and hand-waxed the entire piece, bringing out the rich, warm patina of the oak while preserving its historic character. The surface is smooth to the touch and ready for daily use.
Functionally, its solid build promises years of reliable service. The substantial top provides ample space for dining and entertaining. The design’s cross-shaped legs ensure it can be paired with a variety of chair styles. Its contemporary proportions make it a versatile centerpiece for any spacious room. This is an investment in a piece of Danish design history, ready to live and delight your space for years to come.
Repairs with dowels are visible at both ends of the stretcher; see photos for details.
Clearance between legs 115cm (45.27inch) and thickess of top 3.5cm (1.37inch)
The table will be flatpacked in order to provide more affordable shipping prices.
