Arne Jacobsen - A222 coffee table for Fritz Hansen
The A222 side table is the fruit of a trio of geniuses: Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson and Arne Jacobsen, no less, for Fritz Hansen. Created in the 50s, it was an instant hit! In terms of looks? Soft and sober lines, the kind of elegance that fits in anywhere without making waves: living room, bedroom, office, library... It is compact (47 cm high, 75 cm in diameter) but large enough to put your coffee or the book you pretend to read. The polished aluminum star base is rock solid (with built-in glides, so as not to scratch your parquet floor). The round laminate top, with its aluminum edge, is not only practical: it also pops visually. An icon of Scandinavian design.
