Wegner and produced by andreas tuck in denmark, is a prime example of functional elegance and material sophistication characteristic of danish modernism. Executed in a combination of teak, oak, and brass, the table exemplifies wegner’s commitment to both structural integrity and visual harmony. The main tabletop surface is crafted from teak, known for its warm color and finely grained texture, while the supporting frame is made from oak, offering a subtle contrast in tone and tactile quality. Brass fittings are used discreetly to secure mechanical components and accentuate the joinery with understated detail. The at-309 is distinguished by its versatility, featuring two drop leaves that can be extended or folded down depending on the spatial and functional requirements. When fully extended, the table comfortably accommodates larger gatherings; when collapsed, it occupies minimal floor space—making it equally suited to compact living environments. The table’s cross-shaped oak base provides stable support while maintaining an open, sculptural profile. The refined geometry of the legs and the seamless integration of mechanical features reflect wegner’s precise understanding of furniture as both architecture and object. Brass hardware serves as both a structural and decorative element, revealing the careful consideration of material contrasts that define the piece. The drop-leaf mechanism is smoothly engineered and remains fully functional, underscoring the lasting quality of both design and production. In terms of condition, the table has been well maintained. The teak top and oak frame exhibit a rich, even patina developed over time, while surface wear is minimal and consistent with age and careful use. All moving parts function properly, and the structure remains stable and solid. Hans j. Wegner (1914–2007), a master cabinetmaker and one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, is celebrated for his integration of form and function, as well as his exceptional attention to craftsmanship. His work with andreas tuck during the 1950s and 1960s produced some of the era’s most iconic tables and seating. The at-309 dining table exemplifies his ability to elevate everyday utility into lasting design, making it a highly collectible and enduring work of danish modern furniture.
