Danish Extendable Teak Dining Table by Benny Linden

This is something of a design classic. A solid teak extending table, originally designed by Benny Linden of Denmark in the 1960s and constructed to a very high specification in Thailand, before being exported to Europe. It’s an eye-catching piece of midcentury design whose appeal endures as truly classic design does. The chunky legs and table top are softened by the thick curved band around the edges, but the star of the show here is the outstanding wood grain with a pattern that repeats across the top surface including the extension section. In its regular mode, it’s a generous round that will comfortably seat four. Extended, it will seat six and this section is easily implemented with an integrated folding mechanism within the table. A handsome piece for the stylish, considered modern home.
