Fritz Hansen Essay table Anniversary

Design: Cecilie Manz

Fritz Hansen Essay™ is simple and elegant. Its clear lines are functional without frills. Oriented towards industrial design, this table is simple in its lines, but consists entirely of wood. This gives it a natural and organic look. The tabletop extends far beyond the legs and also offers enough space at the end of the table. For the 150th anniversary, the solid wood table is available in the "colourless oiled oak" variant. The Essay™ was designed by the Danish designer Cecilie Manz.
