Constructed from teak, the table features precise joints connecting the frame and legs, combined with steel components on the base for added structural support. The table includes two leaves, which can be slid in and out to adjust the length. In its extended configuration, the table can accommodate seating for eight chairs, while in its standard form it maintains a functional footprint suitable for smaller dining arrangements. The design reflects modular principles, allowing flexibility in use for both domestic and professional settings. The table’s construction emphasizes structural clarity, with a combination of wood and steel providing stability.
