Impressive 'Model 55' Banquet Dining Table by Omann Jun, Denmark, 1960s
Renowned for its refined craftsmanship and distinctive modernist forms, Omann Jun established a legacy of producing some of the most memorable pieces of Danish mid-century furniture. This Model 55 dining table exemplifies that tradition, uniting sculptural elegance with functional versatility.
The generously proportioned teak top displays a vibrant, expressive grain, resting on four gracefully shaped legs with a subtle taper. A black inlaid line along the lower apron provides a striking visual accent.
The table extends with the addition of three leaves—one with matching grain and skirt, and two without—offering flexible seating for larger gatherings. A discreet folding middle leg ensures stability when fully extended, while maintaining the table’s clean, architectural profile.
A sophisticated design of timeless appeal, this piece provides an impressive focal point for dining spaces, equally suited to everyday family meals or formal entertaining. A quintessential example of Danish Modern craftsmanship and an investment-worthy classic by Omann Jun.
