This is the Fonseca extendable dining table designed by John Herbert by Younger, a popular British mid-century brand.
This high-quality extension table has a simple design with the deep color of Afromosia wood, and you can feel the maker's attention to detail. Like British vintage items from the same era, the design has a Nordic essence, but the beautiful, smooth form from the tabletop to the legs gives it a sophisticated British impression. This is a rare item from Younger, a high-end brand that is rarely seen in Japan. The size can be easily expanded by unfolding the extension table stored under the tabletop to the center. It can be used for 2 to 4 people on a regular basis, and when you have guests, you can quickly unfold the tabletop to use it for 6 people.
The Fonseca series was released in the 1960s. It was designed by John Herbert, Younger's design director. Some of the furniture in the Fonseca series won awards from the Makers Guild and was very popular at the time. It is a series that is synonymous with Younger.
