About the Item

This exceptionally rare dining table was designed by Knud Mortensen in 1955 and crafted by master cabinetmaker Søren Horn in Denmark. First presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition that same year, it is believed that very few examples were ever produced. To date, no other known examples of this particular model have surfaced beyond the one offered here. The table’s striking design is defined by its distinctive V-shaped and inverted V-shaped side frames, connected by a central stretcher. The lower frame is constructed entirely from solid oak, showcasing exposed wooden joinery that highlights Søren Horn’s refined craftsmanship. The rectangular tabletop is made of richly grained teak, offering a warm and elegant surface. Ingeniously concealed beneath each end of the top are two pull-out supports, designed to hold the included extension leaves. Length without extension leaves: 140 cm (55.1 in) Each extension leaf: 50 cm (19.7 in) Maximum total length with both leaves: 240 cm (94.5 in) The table is in very good original condition, with only minor signs of wear consistent with age and use. Literature Grete Jalk (red.), Dansk Møbelkunst gennem 40 aar - Volym III: 1947‑1956, 1987, s. 328-329. Other Danish Modern designers working in the same era include Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, Peder Moos, Ib Kofod Larsen, Ole Wanscher and Arne Jacobsen.
