Story
Made for Rungstedlund
The page says the table was originally intended for Rungstedlund, which today holds a museum; the German shop page, translated here, names it as the Karen Blixen Museum.
Eighteenth-century influence
Carl Hansen & Søn describes the table as showing Wanscher's admiration for 18th-century English furniture, visible in its softly curved silhouette. It calls the extendable table a timeless solution for flexible dining.
