Story
Sturdy and Uncomplicated
The page describes the CH011 as a sturdy coffee table in solid wood with an uncomplicated construction, dated 1954 and credited to Hans J. Wegner, with its four legs tilting slightly outwards.
Coffee Table or Side Table
The table is intended primarily as a coffee table; because of its narrow width the page says it also works well as a side table.
