Planner Coffee Table - Cream
Planner™ Coffee Table
The Planner™ Coffee Table from Fritz Hansen is part of the relaunched Planner collection by legendary American designer Paul McCobb. As one of the leading figures of the 1950s American design movement, McCobb was celebrated for his philosophy that form follows function, a principle that defines this elegant table. Featuring a honed marble tabletop in either cream or charcoal, each piece highlights the natural beauty of the stone while maintaining a slender and modern profile. Resting on a slim powder-coated steel base, the Planner™ Coffee Table embodies McCobb’s original vision of simplicity, functionality, and timeless appeal.
