Story
A playful approach to function
The page says the table was designed in 1955 with a playful approach to functionality. It looks like a simple coffee table at first glance; closer inspection reveals a practical pull-out extension leaf that is lifted and pushed across to the centre of the table, giving more flexibility and space.
Made in Denmark
The page states that skilled craftsmen manufacture the table at the Carl Hansen & Søn factory in Denmark.
