Heart coffee table, natural oil oak
Description
It's hard to say whether Aakjaer Furniture's Heart coffee table takes its name from a shape that hints at a heart, or from the fact that it could well be called the heart of the living room. Either way, the slender oak table is a lovely addition beside a sofa, by a window, or in a hallway. Its two levels hold everything from your favorite decorative pieces to books, magazines, and remote controls.
When designing the Heart coffee table, Danish designer Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen looked to intarsia, a marquetry technique known as far back as the Renaissance. Intarsia is usually known for its lavish floral patterns, but Jørgensen went the other way entirely, choosing something far more restrained and letting the natural grain of the wood do the talking.

Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen (1920–2008) was a Danish carpenter and furniture designer of the old school. He earned his journeyman's certificate from the Danish Technological Institute and was awarded a bronze medal for his craftsmanship. Later, his career took him to Sweden to learn new techniques, and it was there that he picked up intarsia, the old wood inlay technique that became the signature of his work.
Jørgensen founded Møbelintarsia together with his wife in 1948. His furniture came about without drawings of any kind, which is why each piece rests on an instinctive feel for form and function. Today his legacy is carried on by Aakjaer Furniture, founded by his granddaughter Nanna Aakjær.
