A rather special extending dining table, designed by John Herbert in the 1960s for A Younger furniture, as part of his Fonseca range. Made from afrosmosia and teak to give that subtle tone distinction between the solid legs and the table top, its build is of a very high quality. Two draw leaves sit beneath the main table top. Pulled from either side, you can either partially or fully extend the dining surface. A Younger Ltd were British midcentury leaders in the 1950s and 1960s, producing low volume, high-end pieces, more often than not retailed through Heals. It was one of the first to be influenced its Scandinavian contemporaries and you can see this in the design of this table, where clean, crisp lines are softened with curves. We love how the legs seem to pour down from the table top.
