Drawn in 1962 and introduced in 1973, Gammelgaard spent more than a decade perfecting his elegant low table design in glass. Featuring a sculptural yet simple design, it elegantly showcases the furniture professor’s eminent sense of minimalism. The absence of the traditional four legs means that the JG Coffee Table establishes a solid anchored presence in the interior despite its entirely airy appearance. Crafted in Denmark from quality materials, the sculptural base is made of brushed recycled aluminium and tempered glass.

The Danish Modern movement brought international acclaim to Denmark in the 1950s and early 1960s, with works by a handful of prominent designers, such as Hans J. Wegner, Finn Juhl and Børge Mogensen. During the 1970s and 1980s, Danish design continued to develop and flourish. The 1990s saw a renewed interest in Scandinavian design, leading to technological advances and furniture with an artistic appeal.
In between Danish Modern and the renaissance of Scandinavian design, Jørgen Gammelgaard started to gain recognition as part of a new era of industrial aesthetics. Involving simplified shapes and production methods, which allowed for independent ideas with more character.
