Poul Hundevad Danish Teak Nest of Three Tables – Fabian, 1960s

This elegant set of three nesting tables was designed by Poul Hundevad and retailed by Fabian in Denmark during the 1960s, a period recognised as the height of Danish modern furniture design. Hundevad is respected for his refined approach to proportion and practicality, combining cabinet-maker discipline with clean, export-ready forms. The gently rounded table tops, soft edge profiles and beautifully tapered legs are all hallmarks of his work, resulting in a design that feels both sculptural and effortlessly functional.

The tables are crafted with solid teak legs and teak-veneered tops, offering strength, warmth and longevity. They nest smoothly together with a compact footprint, yet work equally well arranged individually throughout a living space. The rounded top profiles soften the overall appearance, making them easy to integrate into both mid-century and contemporary interiors. Practical and versatile, they function beautifully as occasional tables, sofa-side surfaces or flexible pieces for everyday living.

On the smallest table is stamped “Made in Denmark / Danish Control” to the underside, confirming authentic Danish manufacture and export quality standards. This mark dates the piece to the mid-century period and is highly regarded by collectors as evidence of genuine Danish Modern craftsmanship.

The set is in good vintage condition, structurally sound and sympathetically refreshed, retaining its original colour variation and patina rather than being stripped back. Retailed by Fabian as part of Denmark’s mid-century export trade, this is a recognised Poul Hundevad design that continues to appeal to collectors, interior designers and stylists alike. Timeless, well-made and designed to be maintained rather than replaced, it offers a sustainable and enduring alternative to modern mass-produced nesting tables.

Condition
Please bear in mind that all our vintage and retro items have had a life before you purchase them (sometimes quite a long one!) therefore they will show signs of wear and use. We never sell items that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own homes and provide images detailing any significant damage or unusual wear. Please read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help.
