Vintage round folding dining table in rosewood by Agner Christoffersen, Denmark.

This rare and original dining table was designed by Agner Christoffersen for the Danish manufacturer NC Christoffersen in 1948, at a time when Danish modernism was just beginning. It is a universal and timeless design from the early modern mid-century era. The table is made of high-quality Brazilian rosewood in a chestnut brown shade. It features a rich and interesting grain. There is a steel inlay around the top and on the legs. The table includes three additional poplar wood leaves. When extended, the table reaches 275 cm. The table impresses with its dimensions, as well as the elegance and aesthetics of its design. Created to complement the art of good living, as Scandinavian design is also a specific way of life, not just a design style. Agner Christoffersen (1907 - 1993) was a Danish architect and designer. He started as a carpenter and then studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In 1928, he was employed by the Copenhagen Planning Council and later became the chief architect from 1966 to 1975. In the 1940s and 1950s, he worked as a consultant to architects Vilhelm Lauritzen and Hoffa I Windinge on projects such as the Gladsaxe Town Hall, Højskolen Marielyst, Bagsværd School, and the Herning Gymnasium. The table is in its original condition. It shows slight signs of age. Each additional leaf measures 50 cm. It can reach 175 cm, 225 cm, and 275 cm by adding extra elements.
