Swedish folding dining table from the 1950s by Skaraborgs with original label, bilateral or single opening.
Folding dining table, "slagbord" type, produced in the 1950s by Skaraborgs Möbelindustri, a historic manufacturer in Tibro, Sweden, a center known for the artisanal quality of wooden production. There is the original manufacturer's label inside.
“Slagbords” were born in the Scandinavian tradition as domestic work tables: versatile surfaces, foldable to free up space in rural homes. In the twentieth century this typology was reinterpreted in a modernist key, maintaining functionality and formal sobriety. The top can be opened completely or on one side only; each extension measures 62 cm and, when fully extended, the table reaches 168 cm in length. The slender legs and essential profile reflect the Nordic aesthetic of the period, where practicality and proportion coexist in balance.
Good condition. It may show some signs of aging. Please pay attention to the photographs.
