The Library Table BM71 reflects Børge Mogensen’s functional approach to design, where every single detail has a specific purpose, and every measurement is perfectly calibrated. Using the traditional English gate-leg principle, the length of the drop leaf table top can be doubled in size. When not in use, the hinged leaves fold down to hang vertically. Resulting in a clean, rectangular profile of a practical, multi-purpose design crafted in oak.
