Information
This elegant extendable dining table was designed by Pieter De Bruyne for AL Meubel / V-Form, Belgium, during the 1960s. A refined example of early Belgian modernist design, it combines clean architectural lines with smart functionality and timeless proportions.
Crafted in warm teak veneer with a beautiful linear grain pattern, the table features slender chrome legs and a sophisticated integrated butterfly extension system. The extension mechanism is designed so the main top slides smoothly outward along its guides until it locks into place, allowing the hidden extension leaf to unfold from its hinged internal position and lift into place before closing the table again. This practical and well-engineered system eliminates the need for separate loose extension leaves and reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of the period.
Its minimalist structure and balanced proportions make it ideal for both mid-century and contemporary interiors. The chrome legs add a light architectural appearance, while the warm wood tones create a refined and inviting presence.
This table originates from a matching dining set together with the large Pieter De Bruyne Model 167/6 credenza, which further strengthens its provenance and collector appeal.
A rare and functional Belgian design piece, highly suitable for collectors, interior designers, and lovers of important mid-century furniture.
