About the Table

The tabletop has a lively surface, with long, curved lines of darker grain moving through the lighter wood. Some areas show tighter, almost rippling patterns, while others are more open and linear. The glossy finish gives the surface a slight reflective quality, allowing the variations in colour and texture to become more noticeable as the light changes.

A narrow metal strip runs around the perimeter of the tabletop when closed, following its gently rounded corners. It's a small but interesting detail, adding a clean, defined edge to the otherwise warm wooden surface. The table stands on four slender, tapering legs, set at a slight angle.

At 85 × 85 cm, the table works well for everyday dining without taking up too much floor space. To extend it, the two sides slide outwards, revealing two additional leaves stored upside down beneath the main surface. These can be lifted into place, increasing the table's length to 127 cm.

The legs can also be unscrewed, allowing the table to be transported or stored more easily.

Design & History

Made in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, the table is a good example of furniture designed with limited domestic space in mind. Its square form, concealed extension leaves and detachable legs make it adaptable to different needs without introducing unnecessary complexity.

The contrast between the patterned wooden surface and the thin metal edging is particularly interesting, bringing a subtle decorative element to an otherwise straightforward design.

The designer and manufacturer remain unknown.

Why We Like It

There's something particularly appealing about the combination of the almost wavy grain on the tabletop and the thin metal edging. We also like how the extension leaves are tucked away underneath, rather than having to be stored separately. It's a table that doesn't take up much room in everyday use but can comfortably accommodate a few extra guests when needed.
