ABOUT PRODUCTID 19417
This restored extendable dining table, designed by Jindrich Halabala and produced in the Czech Republic in the 1950s, features a warm, medium honey-brown oak veneer complemented by a satin lacquer finish that provides a gentle, understated sheen. The tabletop, displaying subtle natural oak grain, is rectangular with softly rounded corners, while the gently tapered cylindrical legs are mounted flush at each corner, with no visible fittings or hardware. The extension mechanism, based on steel cables and sliding tracks, allows the table to be smoothly extended by a single person; the fully extended tabletop measures 189 cm in width. The table is in excellent condition after comprehensive professional restoration, with no visible damage, wear, or marks—surface and structural authenticity are clearly preserved.This piece speaks in the nuanced language of Central European modernism—its clean lines, minimalist ornamentation, and material clarity evoke an era when function and simplicity defined aesthetics. The form strikes a balance between an inviting scale and a visual lightness: the oak brings a sense of calm reliability, and the satin finish lets light glide softly across the surface. Focused on utility without sacrificing refinement, the construction hints at a time when furniture was designed for daily rituals and gatherings around the table.It can be paired confidently within classic mid-century modern interiors as well as more eclectic settings—consider combining it with upholstered chairs on slender wooden legs, or with contemporary accents of black steel or glass. The table works harmoniously with pale wood flooring, soft textiles, or neutral-toned ceramic tableware. Whether placed as a centerpiece in an open-plan dining room or bridging traditional and modern elements, its oak surface highlights a sense of lasting, understated quality.
