Title: Danish Modern Expanding Model DC06 "Lotus" Dining Table in Teak by Skovby Møbelfabrik, Denmark, c. 1970's
About: Introducing a rare, ultra-functional Model DC06 expansion "Lotus" dining table by Skovby Møbelfabrik. Featuring exquisite teak woodgrains, as well as an ingenious wheel design that turns under the the table top, much like a ships wheel, allowing the leaves stowed within to open out like a lotus flower this extraordinary piece is as versatile as it is aesthetically captivating. When closed the table is round, but when expanded the table undergoes a geometric metamorphosis transforming into a triangular-shaped table top with a black-painted triangle located within the teak triangle.
Skovby Møbelfabrik was founded in 1933 by Danish cabinetmaker Thorvald Rasmussen. He was a visionary designer who introduced innovative and complex designs to the Danish Modern aesthetic usually known for being minimalist and spartan in appearance. He was uncompromising and professionally proud, and from the start produced furniture of the highest quality. Skovby is still family-owned and producing pieces and variations of the DC06 in Denmark to this day - a testament to the staying power of a company focused on uncompromising material use and innovative, functional designs.
