1950s Teak Extending Dining Table by Arne Hovmand-Olsen for Mogens Kold | MCM Toronto

Hosting for six is easy. Hosting for ten without dragging out a folding card table from the basement — that's a different problem entirely. This 1950s teak extending dining table by Arne Hovmand-Olsen for Mogens Kold solves it beautifully, and does so while looking like a piece of sculpture parked in your dining room. Manufactured in Denmark in the early 1950s, this Model 217 table is a masterclass in why Hovmand-Olsen's work is so sought after among people with great taste and a love for Scandinavian design. Built entirely from solid teak on the legs, sculpted trim and thick edge banding — it pairs an organically flowing silhouette with crisp, confident lines. The rounded curves soften the whole piece without ever tipping into fussy, and the old-growth teak veneer grain runs in a book match fashion on the top and both leaves, a small detail that speaks volumes about the level of craftsmanship behind it. Two large leaves store neatly within the table itself, so there's no separately stored leaves to hunt for in a closet every time company's coming. Slide the table open and it expands effortlessly from a 6-person table to 8 with one leaf, and a comfortable 10 with both in place — all without changing the character of the piece one bit. Features: Continuous grain pattern across the top and both extension leaves Two large self-storing leaves, housed within the table when not in use Expands from 6 to 8 to 10 seats Organic, sculptural silhouette with rounded, balanced curves Manufactured in Denmark, early 1950s Professionally restored and ready for daily use The entire table can be easily disassembled for moving and storage Designer & Manufacturer: Arne Hovmand-Olsen was one of the defining names of the Danish Modern movement, known for furniture that balanced structural honesty with a warm, sculptural touch.
