Distinctive Design Features
The distinctive feature lies in the rectangular shape with soft rounded corners that eliminate sharp edges, creating a harmonious, welcoming line. The butterfly extension system allows the table to be elegantly expanded while maintaining the perfect symmetry of the structure: from 145 cm closed to 195 cm with an extension, up to 245 cm fully extended, seating 4-6 to 10-12 people. The sturdy, tapered teak legs ensure optimal stability even when fully extended. The teak tabletop, with its natural grain and luminous light tone, creates a warm surface that enhances any space. The butterfly extension mechanism allows for quick transformation from a compact configuration for everyday use to a generous table for conviviality.

Materials and Danish Production

Teak guarantees exceptional durability and resistance to intensive use with its characteristic structural strength. The construction with traditional joints and a robust butterfly mechanism ensures stability and perfect functionality.
