Dining table "Sawbuck" by Hans J. Wegner (model AT-303) for Andreas Tuck, circa 1950s — oak version This iconic dining table, often referred to as the "Sawbuck Table" (model AT-303), was designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by A.J. Tuck in the early 1950s. Celebrated for its sculptural "X" base, visible joinery, and refined proportions, it remains one of the most recognizable tables of Danish modernism. This particular version is especially rare and sought after: it features a solid oak base with its original steel tension bars, as well as a beautifully patinated oak tabletop. Most available examples are made of teak, but the oak version — warmer in tone and richer in texture — offers a much more distinctive presence. The table was acquired from the original owner, who confirmed that it has never been refinished or sanded. Thus, the surface shows an authentic and well-defined patina, reflecting seven decades of respectful use. The underside of the table bears the original manufacturer's mark of Andreas Tuck, confirming its authenticity. We have chosen to keep it in its original condition, although we offer the option of professional restoration — light sanding and treatment with oil or wax — if the next owner prefers a fresher appearance. The solid oak frame was crafted by the cabinetmaker Andreas Tuck, and the table remains perfectly stable and structurally sound. It is also very practical: the legs can be easily disassembled for flat shipping. Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is considered one of the founding figures of Danish modern design. Like his contemporaries Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, and Børge Mogensen, Wegner approached furniture as a fusion of craftsmanship, comfort, and sculptural form. His work for Carl Hansen & Søn, Fritz Hansen, and Andreas Tuck helped define the visual language of post-war Scandinavian design. Today, his creations are part of the collections at MoMA, V&A, and Designmuseum Danmark. Designed in 1951, the AT-303 is among the first collaborations of Hans J. Wegner with cabinetmaker Andreas Tuck. The piece represents a pivotal moment in Danish modernism, where architectural logic and the tradition of woodworking were combined into a new international design language. We also offer a set of six solid oak dining chairs by Guillerme and Chambron that pair beautifully with this table. Check our collection for options or request a custom seating proposal. An authentic piece of Danish modernism history — honest, functional, and subtly sculptural. Dimensions Width: 170 cm Height: 70 cm
