Extending dining table Johann Oak
The name Johann is one of the most common and typical names for the Nordic countries in the 60s and 70s. Around the same time, the mid-century style gained its popularity, which was characterized by dynamics, smooth shapes and active angles and other “cosmic features”. The table incorporated the most typical external attributes of that period. That is why it got its name which was the most popular at that time.
Johann is a mid-century interpretation of a classic frame scheme. The lightweight image is achieved through the thinnest tabletop with bevelled chamfers and the rapid narrowing of the supports. The smooth outlines of the tabletop soften the silhouette and add visual hospitality.

Johann is a mid-century interpretation of a classic frame scheme. The lightweight image is achieved through the thinnest tabletop with bevelled chamfers and the rapid narrowing of the supports. The smooth outlines of the tabletop soften the silhouette and add visual hospitality.
The general design principle of the Johann table was carried over with significant technological simplifications from its predecessor – the Peruzzo table. When we were designing this item, we faced a tricky task: how to integrate an inner panel that significantly increases the size of the table, but at the same time would not increase the thickness of the tabletop?
Thanks to the elegant solution and wide chamfers of the table frame, we managed to keep the characteristic image of its non-folding version.
In order to achieve the necessary stability for the supports and make the strong structure, we experimentally developed a unique principle of the high-density fiberglass processing. Among other things, it allowed us to obtain a smooth silky texture for the entire product.
Another key feature in the shaping of the table legs has become a certain way of their arrangement in the sheet material which they are made of. We have worked out the scheme in such a way that we obtain the maximum outcome of useful products. This technique significantly reduces waste and is a more environmentally friendly production method.
The proportions of the object are adjusted according to the golden ratio (Leonardo Fibonacci sequence).
The angle of table legs repeats the natural position of human legs when he or she is sitting on the chair. It creates an additional space for knees and allows sitting almost at any side of the table.
