**Kurt Østervig**는 1912년에 태어난 덴마크 디자이너로,가구 디자이너 이전에 **해군 설계사(Naval Architect)**로 커리어를 시작했습니다.그 이력은 그의 디자인 전반에 흐르는 유려한 곡선, 관능적인 비례, 유기적인 형태에서 분명히 드러납니다.그는 E. Pedersen & Søn 스튜디오와의 협업을 계기로 본격적인 가구 디자인에 뛰어들었으며,이후 오크, 티크, 로즈우드를 중심으로 한 뛰어난 목공 가구들로 명성을 쌓았습니다.이 1950년대 커피 테이블은 그의 대표작 중 하나로,‘Surfboard’, ‘Elliptical’, 혹은 ‘Boomerang’이라는 이름으로 불립니다.이러한 이름은 테이블의 타원형 상판에서 비롯되었습니다.마치 서프보드를 연상시키는 형태이자, 배의 선체나 물 위에 떠 있는 폰툰의 실루엣을 떠올리게 합니다.해군 설계사였던 그의 배경이 자연스럽게 녹아든 디자인이라 할 수 있습니다.소재 역시 이러한 스토리를 이어갑니다.상판은 티크 또는 로즈우드, 하부 구조는 오크 혹은 비치 원목으로 제작되어재질 간의 대비가 매우 아름답게 표현됩니다.다리는 살짝 벌어진 V자 형태로 설계되어, 전체적인 조형미에 안정감과 리듬감을 더합니다.동시대의 다른 덴마크 디자이너들과 달리,이 테이블은 대량 생산이나 산업화 과정을 거치지 않은 작품입니다.그만큼 시장에서 만나기 어려운, 진정한 빈티지 컬렉터블 피스라 할 수 있습니다.본 제품은 상판 하부에“CFC Silkeborg Made in Denmark” 라는 오리지널 메탈 라벨이 부착된확실한 오리지널 빈티지입니다.
Kurt Østervig is a Danish designer born in 1912.
He was first a naval architect, which is evident in his fluid lines and sensuality.
He branched out into furniture design when he collaborated with the E. Pedersen & Søn studio.
He is now recognized for his woodwork, particularly with oak, teak, and rosewood.
This 1950s coffee table is one of his iconic tables. It is called "Surfboard," "Elliptical," or "Boomerang."
Why this name? Its elliptical shape naturally resembles a surfboard. It also evokes the hull of a boat or the silhouette of a floating pontoon.
Continuing with the boat theme, it is made of teak or rosewood, with a solid wood base (often oak or beech) that provides a contrast with the tabletop. Its legs are slightly inclined, in a V-shape.
It was never produced on a large scale or industrially, unlike other Danish designers of the same era.
This original vintage piece is stamped under the top: "CFC Silkeborg Made in Denmark"
