This extending dining table is a refined example of mid-century Scandinavian design, combining architectural clarity with highly resolved functionality. Executed in teak and built around a sophisticated integrated extension system, the piece reflects the values that established Danish modern furniture as an international reference for everyday living.
Crafted in high-quality teak, the table displays warm honey tones and long continuous grain patterns across the surface. The top adopts the classic boat-shape profile, with gently curved long edges and softened corners that reduce visual weight and create a more fluid relationship with the surrounding space.
The defining feature of the table is its trestle-style base, which centralizes the structural supports and eliminates corner legs. This configuration not only reinforces the sculptural quality of the design but also improves comfort and flexibility by allowing chairs to slide fully beneath the table and giving guests unrestricted legroom.
Engineered for adaptability, the table incorporates two original integrated draw-leaf extensions stored directly beneath the main top. Unlike removable leaves that require external storage, this system allows the table to transform quickly while preserving the clean visual language of the design.
The table offers three distinct configurations. Closed, it functions as an elegant everyday dining table. With one extension deployed, it comfortably accommodates larger gatherings while maintaining balanced proportions. Fully extended with both leaves, the table becomes a generous dining surface suitable for entertaining without compromising structural integrity.
The table remains in excellent vintage condition. The teak surfaces are clean and well preserved, with strong grain definition and beautifully maintained proportions throughout. The extension system operates smoothly and the structure remains solid and stable.
A timeless example of Scandinavian modern design, where material, engineering, and proportion combine to create a highly adaptable dining experience.
