This extraoridynary piece is the quintessence of mid-century Scandinavian modernism, combining timeless elegance with extraordinary functionality. Crafted entirely from solid teak with a warm patina, the table impresses with its precision craftsmanship and attention to detail, such as subtle brass fittings and hinges. The main advantage of the FD 15/54 is its extendable function. Thanks to solid brass hinges, the two side wings can be easily raised or lowered, allowing for smooth adjustment of the furniture's length. When folded, the table functions as a compact coffee table, while when extended, its length increases from 129 cm to an impressive 183 cm, providing additional usable space. This versatility makes it not only a beautiful but also an incredibly practical piece of furniture, ideal for dynamic living spaces.

This table has been restored and is in very good vintage condition. It has a natural patina and normal signs of age. Some screws have been replaced.
