It is both a coffee table with a magazine rack and also a dining table for up to 8 people. The side leaves pull up and out from below and then lock into place in order to form the larger table. This ingenious design makes a very versatile piece for the modern home, as well as a beautiful minimalist addition to any Mid-Century styled room.

The stamps underneath show the Tingströms maker’s mark and the words ‘Bra Bohag’ – ‘good things for the home’. The top is finished in a richly colored teak veneer and is set over legs made from lighter, solid teak. Underneath, the frame and mechanism are constructed from beech. There is a small veneer repair to the top and a small dent (shown in the last two photos). Otherwise, all is in excellent original condition with just light signs of wear commensurate with age.

Swedish designer Folke Ohlsson was born in 1919 and studied at the Gothenburg Society of Industrial Design before working for the furniture manufacturer DUX in Malmö. In 1950 he emigrated to the United States and subsequently established DUX Inc. in California, producing Scandinavian style furniture for the US and international market. less
