Fredericia JG Sohvapöytä Coffee Table aluminium

Fredericia JG coffee table

The JG coffee table is an iconic masterpiece of minimalism.

The JG coffee table by Fredericia, designed by Jørgen Gammelgaard, is a paragon of thoughtful design and timeless elegance. The first sketches date back to 1962, but the design wasn't launched in its final form until 1973 – the result of more than a decade of refinement.

At a time when four legs were the norm, Gammelgaard opted for an innovative approach: a light, tempered glass top rests on a base of geometrically shaped, brushed aluminum. The sharp lines of the base contrast beautifully with the transparency of the top – a subtle statement in any room.
