The Art of the Extendable Table

Singapore homes, from condominiums to landed houses, often have to balance limited space with the desire to entertain. An extendable table provides the best of both worlds — compact when you need space and expansive when guests arrive. The Scandinavian approach focuses on functionality without compromising form, ensuring every table is as beautiful as it is practical.

Here’s why an extendable table is a worthwhile investment:

• Adaptable living: Effortlessly extend the table for family gatherings, festive occasions, or dinner parties.
• Space-efficient design: Keep your dining area open and airy on regular days, then expand it when needed.
• Craftsmanship and durability: Precision engineering ensures smooth extension mechanisms and long-lasting quality.
• Timeless style: Danish tables are designed to complement both contemporary and classic interiors.
• Sustainability: Many Danish brands use responsibly sourced wood and long-lasting finishes.

The Beauty of Danish Engineering

Danish makers like Skovby have spent decades refining the art of the extendable table. The famous Skovby SM33, for example, expands from a round table into a larger, three-section masterpiece with a simple turn of the base. The SM26 and SM101 feature equally smart solutions — hidden leaves, self-storing extensions, and balanced mechanisms that allow one person to open and close them effortlessly. Every piece is built with precision and made from premium oak, walnut, or ash, combining durability with understated beauty.

Aesthetic and Function in Harmony

Beyond function, extendable tables embody the Scandinavian belief that design should serve life beautifully. When not in use, they retain their sculptural simplicity, often appearing as a perfectly proportioned dining table. When extended, they transform seamlessly, ready to host friends, family, or festive meals. In Singapore’s humid climate, these tables also stand the test of time thanks to their solid craftsmanship and careful finishing processes.
