Manufacturer
PP Mobler

140cm diameter, includes 2 x 60cm solid wood extensions (stored separate) - table is 260cm L when extended.

Oiled Oak, Top and Extensions made of wood from the same log! 

This table is nothing short of a constructional masterpiece. Wanting to maximize the knee and legroom of those sitting at the table, Wegner joined the table legs in the centre of the round table top.

Each leg is supported by steel stretchers that turn into strong triangular formations within each stretcher and between the stretcher and the wooden leg. The construction is so strong that despite its daring elegance, it even offers the possibility of extension by separating the two halves of the round table top.

As is common in the best of Wegner's works, this table combines practicality with the most refined sense of aesthetics. The construction is so sophisticated that the round table top seems to balance on a centre point.
