Description
Danish Mid century rosewood and glass two tier coffee or side table designed by Henning Norgaard for Komfort Mobler, 1960s.
Unfortunately Henning Norgaard, despite many searches, is one of those designers who remains largely unknown. There’s no question he was Danish, and he was believed to be primarily an artist that also dabbled with design; and what a shame he didn’t do more!
Of the designs that are attributed to him there is a beautiful set of cutlery called ‘Eton’ that was made by Raadvad and used at the Danish Royal Court, and this stunning little modernist table produced by Komfort. Komfort were known for making classic ‘Scandinavian modern’ pieces by well-known Danish architects and designers including Sven Ellekaer, Arne Wahl Iversen, and Ole Wanscher. Their catalogue included numerous chairs, tables and upholstered sofas and loungers.
Their work was precise and always carried out to a high standard; as can be seen on this table. The beautifully constructed jointing work is held together by recessed bolts which means the whole table can be very easily deconstructed and flat packed. This was very much part of the Danish design ethos in the 60’s where the greatest market for Danish furniture, outside of Europe, was actually in America. On this basis, with Ikea also going this route in Sweden, manufacturers like Komfort were shipping furniture in their component parts to be sold and then reassembled overseas.
What’s truly compelling about the design is how fine and slight the structure is, which gives it an almost unreal quality – it exists in the space, but is at the same time barely visible. And, in a funny way, it’s almost like the designer himself. No doubt it’s exactly as he intended and married to the light and airy modernist lines it creates a beautiful silhouette.
The table is in wonderful vintage condition throughout with only very light marks to the wooden frame as expected – the original manufacturer’s label remains still affixed to the base as shown in the pictures. This particular table also benefits from two tiers of glass shelving, which I’ve never seen before. I think there’s no doubt the glass has been replaced as it’s in virtually ‘as new’ condition, and I guess whoever did that added the 2nd tier; and honestly, it’s a stroke of genius… IMO not only does it not affect the aesthetic, but it enhances it whilst also adding additional storage – it may not be strictly original but if you want to be purist about it you can just simply throw the bottom bit of glass away if you want to and imagine it was never there in the first place!
Just a wonderful little table that remains as one of my favourite vintage Danish coffee tables of all time.

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.
If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
