Hans Wegner Table

The Model AT308 Table designed by Hans J. Wegner came to us from Absolutely Nice Vintage, one of the legs had broken at the mid-point and the piece needed re-finishing. We removed the glue from the break that was the result of previous repair attempts, drilled the two halves and fitted carbon fibre dowels to reinforce the break. These allow us to use a small diameter dowel whilst retaining the strength, and so ensure we don’t have to remove too much of the wood and so weaken it. The broken leg was re-glued with its carbon fibre dowels, and the table refinished.

While he is best known for his chairs, Wegner also created memorable cabinetry, desks, tables, beds, and lighting fixtures. Over the course of his career, the designer collaborated with several renowned manufacturers, including AP Stolen, Carl Hansen & Søns, Fredericia Stolefabrik, Getama, Fritz Hansen, Erik Jorgensen, Louis Poulsen, Ry Møbler, PP Møbler, and Andreas Tuck.

 Wegner’s furniture is included in the permanent collections of the world’s most respected museums. He is also the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix at Milan’s Triennale in 1950, the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Eckersberg Medal in 1955, and the 8th International Design Award in 1997, among others.
