Information

This dining table, model PD 700, was designed by Ludvig Pontoppidan and produced by Povl Dinesen in Denmark during the 1950s. It is crafted in solid teak, a material widely favored in Scandinavian modernism for its durability, warm tone, and fine grain structure. The surface displays a rich, reddish-brown hue with natural grain patterns, contributing to the table’s tactile and visual depth.

The table has a rectangular top with softly rounded corners and a beveled edge, details that emphasize both functionality and refinement. The base construction is marked by four conical, tapering legs connected by structural stretchers. Distinctive angled cross braces under the top provide both stability and a sculptural quality, reflecting the technical craftsmanship and attention to proportion characteristic of Danish cabinetmaking in the period.

This example retains its original extension mechanism, allowing the table to expand to accommodate more seating when required. The extension system is integrated seamlessly, maintaining the table’s clean architectural lines whether extended or not.

Ludvig Pontoppidan is known for designs that balance architectural clarity with fine materiality, while Povl Dinesen’s workshop was regarded for its high-quality production, often collaborating with leading Danish designers of the era. This table is a representative piece of mid-century Scandinavian design, embodying both restrained elegance and practical versatility.

Dimensions: width 180 cm (70.9 in), extended length 250 cm (98.4 in), depth 90 cm (35.4 in), height 73 cm (28.7 in)
