ABOUT PRODUCTID 10983
This coffee table, designed by Niels Gammelgaard for Ikea in the 1980s, is a distinct example of Scandinavian design at the intersection of minimalism and industrial functionality. Its construction features a lightweight, matte black metal frame, with tubular legs bent into an intersecting X-shape that ensures stability and creates a striking rhythm of form. The square tabletop, made of clear glass, reveals the metal grid beneath and enhances the table’s graphic, modernist character. The table’s proportions are balanced: both width and depth measure 60 cm, with a height of 48 cm. The design is free of visible screws or fasteners, and carefully welded joints further emphasize the clarity of its lines. The table is in good condition, showing minor, age-appropriate signs of use such as small scratches and scuffs on both the glass and metal. The table embodies the spirit of the 1980s, an era when function and structure became aesthetics in their own right. Its minimalist silhouette is honest – embracing materiality and openness. The transparent glass top allows light to pass through, casting delicate reflections on the black grid and metal tubes below, as though the table quietly narrates a fascination with modernity, urban rhythm, and the transparency of everyday life. This is a piece that does not impose itself but remains quietly present, inviting close observation of detail within simplicity. The table could be paired with a sofa of clean lines or an armchair upholstered in neutral tones to accentuate its graphic quality. It would fit well in interiors inspired by industrial, modern, or loft styles but can also serve as a calming counterpoint in more eclectic arrangements. It
