Laurits M. Larsen was a Danish furniture maker whose work consistently demonstrated the qualities the period is known for: honest use of materials, precise joinery, and a design sensibility that prioritized how a piece actually functions in a home over purely decorative considerations. This table is a good example of that thinking.

Closed, it's a round table at 49 inches in diameter, the right size for four people and compact enough for smaller dining rooms, breakfast rooms, or kitchen spaces. Each of the two leaves adds 21 inches, extending the table to 91 inches fully open, enough to seat eight comfortably. The transition from intimate round table to generous dining surface is what makes this format so enduringly practical, and why Danish extendable tables of this type remain in constant demand.

The teak top has the warm, even grain that characterises well-selected Danish production wood of the 1960s. The surface is in excellent condition, there are a couple of minor scuffs visible in the photos, noted honestly, but no watermarks, staining, or damage. The extension mechanism works smoothly and both leaves fit flush with no visible gap or color mismatch.

It would pair naturally with the Erik Buch Model 49 floating seat chairs also available in our shop, both Danish, both teak, both 1960s.
