Description

A rare example of Danish-Australian mid-century design, the Ernst Hansen Teak Dining Table and Chairs from the 1960s combines thoughtful engineering with timeless craftsmanship. Made in Hawthorn, Melbourne, this dining set features a beautifully proportioned round teak table with four chairs designed to nest perfectly beneath the edge.

Fully restored and presented in excellent condition, the set showcases the warmth of aged teak, considered space-saving design, and custom upholstery in a bold geometric pattern. A custom-made polished glass topper is also included to protect the timber surface while allowing the natural grain and character to remain visible.

A Rare Danish-Australian Teak Dining Set From The 1960s

Ernst Hansen was known for creating furniture influenced by Danish design principles, combining functionality, clean lines, and quality materials. This dining suite reflects that philosophy through its intelligent nesting chair design, where each chair fits seamlessly beneath the circular tabletop to create a compact and elegant silhouette.

Crafted from teak and restored with care, the table features a warm natural patina developed over decades. The four original chairs have been professionally reupholstered in a geometric fabric featuring deep red, black, sage green, and warm tan tones, adding personality while respecting the furniture's mid-century origins.

A unique piece of Danish-Australian furniture history, this dining set is suited to collectors, design enthusiasts, and interiors seeking authentic vintage character.
