Danish Double Extending Oak Dining Table by Skovby, 1960s

Description A thoughtfully crafted Danish dining table by Skovby, made in the 1960s, embodies the quiet ingenuity and enduring principles of Scandinavian design. Constructed in oak, with a solid oak frame, the table offers both strength and warmth through its finely grained timber. In its closed form, the table presents a compact, square silhouette—measured and modest, well-suited to more intimate settings. Yet, with the graceful addition of its two extension leaves, it unfolds into a generous dining surface, capable of hosting larger gatherings with ease and dignity. This harmonious transformation speaks to a time when furniture was made not only to serve, but to adapt and endure. The table has been carefully sanded and finished with Osmo raw oil, preserving the wood’s natural character while lending it a soft, contemporary tone. The finish enhances the oak’s texture without masking its history, allowing the material to speak with quiet confidence. A piece both practical and poetic—rooted in tradition, yet ever relevant to the modern home. Dimensions: Closed: 100 x 100 cm Extended: 200 x 100 cm height: 72.5 cm
