Story
A centrepiece from 1960
Fredericia's page says the Ox Table was designed in 1960, alongside the Ox Chair and Queen Chair, and that it fits as a natural centrepiece. It calls the table a classic Hans J. Wegner piece in a simple yet complex design, with a sleek and elegant profile because no side rails are needed.
Overlapping tops
The page adds that more tables can be put together with overlapping table tops. According to the Wegner Ox Ottoman page, Fredericia put the Ox Table back into production in 2022.
