Torbjorn Afdal extendable coffee table rosewood

Magnificent and original rosewood coffee table from the 1960s, created by Norwegian designer Torbjørn Afdal. A true creation of Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian design, it features a clever mechanism that allows the top to extend from 136 to 185.5 cm with a black formica extension veneered in rosewood that rotates and inserts under the table. This ingenious system makes it a beautiful decorative object, adding an original aesthetic touch while offering great functionality. Torbjørn Afdal is one of the most prolific and respected Norwegian designers of his time. His furniture was notably acquired by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland.
