Story
An honest coffee table
Fredericia describes the BM80 coffee table as honest and balanced, originally designed by Børge Mogensen in 1961. The maker says the design is inspired by the American Shaker tradition and is defined by its clean expression and subtle details.
Offset joints and a brass screw
The details the text singles out are the offset joints and the visible brass screw that anchors the frame with precision. Fredericia adds that the piece reflects Mogensen's ability to unite form and function in a design that endures.
