This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship and functional characteristics of Scandinavian modern design.

The table size without extensions is 73 cm in height and 119 cm in diameter.

It features two additional leaves, each 48cm wide, one of them with an apron. The tabletop with a teak veneer exposes beautiful teak grain in all parts and stands on solid teak tapered legs. The table extends to 167 cm with one leaf or 215 cm with both. Veneer on extensions is a bit different. In smaller Danish homes from the mid-20th century, there was not so much space, and it seems like the tables were rarely open.
Slender tapered legs of solid teak and a thick rounded decorative strip around the countertop emphasize the best days of Danish carpentry while adding elegance and chic to the whole. The extended table creates a beautiful oval shape and can provide a comfortable seat for 6-8 guests.

The table has been renovated. Old layers of finish have been removed, and we applied several layers of satin lacquer, ensuring the same low-sheen historical look. We leave minor, natural signs of use that do not spoil the aesthetic and only confirm its originality. The legs are detachable for shipping. Runners are working smoothly. After renovation, it remains in perfect vintage condition.

Additional dimensions:
- width between the legs is 73 cm,
- height to apron 64 cm. See less
