The 'Egyptian Table' was designed by Mogens Lassen so that it can be easily folded for storage by opening a small brass sliding latch under the tabletop. It is a flexible coffee table that embodies the functionalism of classic furniture types.
For Lassen and his contemporaries, function was paramount. Their approach often began with the careful study and refinement of long-standing archetypes.
This clear, time-tested furniture type appealed to mid-century design and architectural visionaries, confirming their core belief that intelligent, purposeful design never goes out of style.
