Fredericia’s Magazine table, designed in 1949, is a prime example of Danish mid-century modernism. According to designer Jens Risom, the secret to good design lies in comfort, an elegant appearance and the warmth of natural wood – and that’s what the minimalist table is all about. Equipped with a small magazine rack, the table is the perfect sidetable placed next to a sofa or an armchair. The uniquely constructed Magazine table is made of oak veneer.
