Fritz Hansen Planner Rectangular Coffee Table
Manufacturer: Fritz Hansen | Designer: Paul McCobb, 1953
The Planner™ Rectangular Coffee Table is the most versatile format in McCobb’s relaunched table series — long enough to anchor a sofa, considered enough to sit beside a single chair. Its proportions are deliberate: a low, horizontal form that draws the eye across the room rather than up through it. The structured marble surface and powder-coated steel base reduce the table to its two essential elements, nothing more. McCobb called this approach form follows function; the result is a piece that looks as resolved today as it did in 1953.
The marble is honed to a matt, uniform finish — tactile rather than reflective. Charcoal marble is deep black with striking white veining and fossil traces from shells and snails, each slab unique. Cream marble has a warm base with red veining formed by metal minerals accumulated over 100 million years, with brown fossil sediments and white marbling. No two tops are identical. The base is TIG-welded 12mm steel rod with flat steel bar supports and pressure-cast zinc feet, powder-coated matt black throughout.
