Mid-century Dutch furniture design was characterized by a blend of modernist influences and a commitment to functionality. Wooden furniture from this time period often featured clean lines and a focus on the natural beauty of the wood, as seen with this dining table.
Furthermore, Dutch cabinetmakers focused on prioritizing usability and functionality alongside aesthetics. De Volharding was founded in the 1930s by Albert Boesveld (1905 – 1966) and Victor Klaassen. Initially, the company supplied wooden window frames, stairs and doors, and later school furniture. When a large wave of emigration originated from the Netherlands in the 1950s, the factory produced collapsible furniture that could easily be shipped in special boxes, like this folding table.
The design of this table is characterized by clean lines and minimalistic details, reflecting the influence of mid-century modernism. Its simple yet refined silhouette makes it suitable for various interior styles and decor preferences. This folding table embodies the manufacturer’s commitment to functionality, craftsmanship, and modern design aesthetics.
