Surfboard coffee table, designed by Arne Hovmand-Olsen in 1959, is a Danish design classic that has been re-released by Warm Nordic. The shape of the tabletop is reminiscent of a surfboard, and the empty space between the top and the frame gives the tabletop an airy, hovering appearance. Made of oiled, solid wood, Surfboard is a fine example of Arne Hovmand-Olsen’s love for top-quality materials and playful shapes. Thanks to its lightweight structure and dynamic design, Surfboard will find its place by the sofa or as a distinctive side table elsewhere in the house.
