A table that combines tranquility, proportion, and the use of materials, precisely as Dutch modernism was intended. The frame is crafted from solid wenge wood, recognizable by its strong grain in dark, warm tones. Between the frame lies the off-white tabletop, finished with original white Formica with a light texture. This surface is durable, easy to maintain, and durable in daily use. The extension system is ingenious and easy to use. The top slides sideways, revealing the additional tabletop that rises using the original mechanism. This effortlessly creates two additional seats without sacrificing the design's tranquil character. The table has undergone extensive renovation in our workshop. All old lacquer layers have been removed, circles and stains have been carefully removed, and minor repairs have been made where necessary. The wenge wood has then been finished with several coats of high-quality furniture oil. This has restored the warm, original color of the wood, creating a beautiful contrast with the sleek Formica top. The table is in excellent condition and is ready for immediate use. Upon purchase, you will receive maintenance instructions with matching furniture oil to keep the piece in top condition.
