Notes
The minimalistic aesthetic of this table, is considered a perfect harmony between form and function.
The manufacturer, France & Søn, had the ability to combine high-quality Danish craftmanship with efficient serial production. Rather than producing only expensive high-end furniture, the company helped make Danish design accessible and available to a wider market.
Danish designer and manufacturer Poul Cadovius purchased the well-established furniture manufacturer and eventually renamed the company CADO. The company collaborated with many of the period's leading designers, including Finn Juhl.
