This is a 5-piece dining set by NATHAN, one of the most representative brands of British mid-century style.
After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
This extension table can be easily expanded without changing the size of the table top by unfolding the extension top stored under the top to the center. It can be used for 2 to 4 people on a regular basis, and when you have guests, you can quickly expand the top to use it for 6 people. Although it has a simple appearance, the attention to detail is unique to Nathan. It is a piece with a different appeal from G-PLAN and McINTOSH furniture.
The gently arched curve of the backrest matches the edge of a round dining table for a coordinated look. The rounded trapezoidal seat fits perfectly under the table and is more comfortable than its size would suggest.
This item was designed by Nathan, a British company during the mid-century period, but after Parker Knoll acquired the company in 1981, it is now sold by Parker Knoll.
