Constructed in oak , with a solid oak frame , the table offers both strength and warmth through its finely grained timber. In its closed form, the table presents a compact, square silhouette —measured and modest, well-suited to more intimate settings. Yet, with the graceful addition of its two extension leaves , it unfolds into a generous dining surface , capable of hosting larger gatherings with ease and dignity. This harmonious transformation speaks to a time when furniture was made not only to serve, but to adapt and endure. The table has been carefully sanded and finished with Osmo raw oil , preserving the wood’s natural character while lending it a soft, contemporary tone. The finish enhances the oak’s texture without masking its history, allowing the material to speak with quiet confidence. A piece both practical and poetic—rooted in tradition, yet ever relevant to the modern home. Dimensions: Closed: 100 x 100 cm Extended: 200 x 100 cm height: 72.5 cm See less
