The design is especially appealing for its reversible top: one side finished in warm teak veneer, the other in formica, making it both elegant and practical in everyday use. Beneath the top sits an integrated lower shelf, while the sculpted side rails and tapered legs give the piece that light, architectural quality so often associated with Dutch mid-century design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left: 1.2em; margin-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: attributed to Louis van Teeffelen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: 1950s–1960s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: coffee table \/ lounge table\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: teak veneer, formica, wood\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 120 W × 51 D × 44 H cm (47.24 W × 20.08 D × 17.32 H in)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures: reversible top, lower shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this model particularly attractive is the balance between function and form. The teak side offers a warmer, more furniture-led look, while the formica side is useful as a more durable everyday surface. That reversible concept was a smart and common mid-century solution, especially for homes that wanted practicality without sacrificing design. The lower shelf adds room for books or magazines, and the open sculpted apron gives the table more visual character than a standard rectangular coffee table. It sits especially well in Dutch modern, mid-century, Scandinavian, and more minimal contemporary interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example has a rich warm teak tone and a nicely balanced silhouette, with the lower shelf adding both function and rhythm to the design. It is a versatile size that works well as a central coffee table without feeling visually heavy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eGood vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with use. The table presents well overall, with a warm tone and clean mid-century lines. The top shows light signs of use, including small surface marks and scratches visible in the photos. Structurally sound and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curated Objects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58073919684953,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/8824\/2521\/files\/Coffee-table-teak-Louis-van-Teeffelen-attributed-10x13.jpg?v=1778941995","url":"https:\/\/thecuratedobjects.com\/products\/coffee-table-louis-van-teeffelen-webe-1950s","provider":"Curated Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
