Scandinavian Extendable Dining Table in Oak and Teak by Yngvar Sandström

On request

Item Description

An elegant and highly functional extendable dining table designed by Yngvar Sandström for Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden. Crafted with a refined combination of materials, the table features a solid oak base paired with a warm teak tabletop framed by oak edges, creating a subtle yet sophisticated contrast. The rectangular top is equipped with two extension leaves, allowing the table to expand in 2 steps from 137 cm to an impressive 244 cm. The extension mechanism is thoughtfully engineered—smooth in operation, structurally robust, and visually discreet—reflecting the high level of craftsmanship associated with Scandinavian Modern design. Four cylindrical oak legs support the top with a sense of lightness and balance, enhancing the table’s clean architectural presence. Its restrained aesthetic, guided by clarity of form and practical function, makes it a versatile centerpiece for both intimate dining and larger gatherings. A fine example of mid-century Scandinavian design, this piece embodies the timeless principles of simplicity, quality, and usability. Nordiska Kompaniet is also known for distributing Knoll furniture throughout Scandinavia, underscoring its legacy of design excellence. Marked with original label.
