Scandinavian Modern Expanding Teak Dining Table by Folke Ohlsson for Dux

Details

Designed by celebrated Swedish designer Folke Ohlsson for DUX during the 1960s, this mid-century modern expanding dining table exemplifies the thoughtful craftsmanship and versatility that defined Scandinavian furniture design. Expertly crafted in teak, the table showcases a warm, richly figured grain, softened edges, and gracefully arched aprons that give the silhouette a refined sense of lightness. Its innovative butterfly extension system reflects Ohlsson's commitment to functional design without compromising aesthetics. Two integrated folding leaves, each measuring 27.5 inches wide, are discreetly stored beneath the tabletop and unfold effortlessly, with polished brass hinges that serve as an elegant design detail rather than something to conceal. Whether you choose to use one or both extensions, the table adapts effortlessly to your needs. Fully extended, the table expands to an impressive 110 inches, comfortably accommodating larger gatherings while maintaining the clean proportions of the original design. Folke Ohlsson played a pivotal role in introducing Scandinavian modern furniture to North America, creating pieces that balanced exceptional craftsmanship with practical everyday use. His work for DUX remains especially sought after for its intelligent engineering, timeless proportions, and enduring versatility. Complete with its original manufacturer's stamp, this table is an authentic example of Swedish modern design at its finest. Equally admired for its ingenious construction, beautiful teak craftsmanship, and lasting appeal.
