Set of two side tables or nightstands designed by Severin Hansen for Haslev Møbelsnedkeri Denmark.

 

The tables have a very clean, modest and simple yet elegant design and features rectangular tops with tapering legs. The set is in very good condition with only few signs of age and use.

 

Danish furniture designer Severin Hansen Jr. is best remembered for his table and desk designs in the Classic, Danish Mid-Century Modern style. In the 1950s and early 1960s, his work was produced by Haslev Møbelsnedkeri—a furniture manufacturer located in the small town of Haslev, close to Copenhagen—as well as Dutch manufacturer Bovenkamp. Hansen's also known for his collaboration with venerable Danish porcelain company Royal Copenhagen, which produced a series of rosewood tables surfaced with ceramic tiles hand painted and glazed by artists like Grethe Helland-Hansen and Nils Thorssen.

 

Though little is known about Hansen’s life, his designs are increasingly popular among vintage lovers, who hold him in high esteem for his high quality joinery and materials. Hansen’s dining tables, nesting tables, coffee tables, and sewing tables were produced almost exclusively in rosewood and mahogany, with a small number made from teak. Minimalist in detail, they are characterized by angular silhouettes and tapered legs—exemplars of 1960s Scandinavian idiom.
