Pine wood is directly connected with scandinavian design. Well known desigeners like Knud Friis, Elmar Moltke Nielsen, Carl Malmsten and Rainer Daumiller liked to work with this type of wood.

The main reason must have been of course the looks of the pine wood. It is a soft wood because of the resin that is naturally in the wood. Long time people thought hardwood was the type of wood that would win a battle in the lifetime of wood. But the resin in Pine wood makes the type of wood surviving any other type of wood and mixes the words ‘everlasting’ in it.

That technical detail used the designers justed mentioned also to design in Pine wood.

This dining table has a four part table top that can be extended with a fifth element to be positioned in the middlepart. This middlepart is different in color just because this part never had sun influence. The not visible moving frame of the extendable table is mounted unvisible under the tabletop and has been professionally restored by the previous owners, it runs very smoothly! Table is in very good condition and te top of the table is beautiful aged.

We also have matching chairs available with articlenumber 06060422ZST as to be seen in the final pictures in this ad. Note: pricing here concerns the table.
