Mid Century Drop Leaf Dining Table

This is a superb piece of Danish design, designed by Ib Kofod Larsen for design powerhouse G Plan of High Wycombe, England. Aimed at the aspirational and more expensive range of the market in the 1960s these designer collections were quite rare, as a result in today’s market much more difficult to acquire. Ib Kofod Larsen designed for G Plan from 1962-1966. One of Denmark’s leading young designers at the time who studied at the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen, his feel for wood is reflected in the beautiful sculptural quality of his furniture. He went on to become an internationally acclaimed furniture designer. Our photos show the original advertisement from this collection. A fine example of his design and bearing the distinctive stamped logo of its designer on it underside. This table is an absolute beauty! The drop down feature is eminently practical, allowing this 4/6 seater dining table to be reduced to half its size for efficient and effective storage. The rich seamlessly smooth turned solid teak wood of its legs and frame is eye catching and stylish. The high quality teak finish of its top is extremely tactile and smooth with wonderful warm deep tones. A special collector’s piece and rare example of Mid Century Danish design!
