S-Table Dining Table, Rectangular Extendable
Design by Marcel GascoinThe S-Table combines functional flexibility with a refined and timeless expression. Defined by its tapered legs, sturdy frame, and rectangular tabletop, the design offers a clean and space-efficient silhouette. The table extends by up to one metre through a smooth integrated mechanism, creating room for additional seating while maintaining its elegant proportions. Crafted entirely from solid and veneered oak or walnut, every detail reflects a focus on durability, craftsmanship, and natural materials.
Originally designed in 1953, the S-Table forms part of a cohesive furniture collection alongside the B-Table and C-Chair. The design reflects the era’s focus on practical living combined with understated aesthetics, where simplicity of form and honest materials were central principles. Its balanced proportions and thoughtful construction continue to give the table a timeless character that remains relevant across generations.
Marcel Gascoin
French designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading furniture designers of the post-war era. He is recognized for the vital role he played in the reconstruction of France after the Second World War, when his modular storage units and matching sets of wooden furniture, which focused on clean aesthetics and functionality, became a staple for French households. During the post-war housing crisis in France, Gascoin worked as an interior architect and designer for the French Ministry of Reconstruction and Urbanism, designing and building homes as well as the furniture to go inside them. He drew on his long-held love of wood, his childhood fascination with compact and efficient nautical interiors, and his training as an interior designer and cabinetmaker to create a new standard for furniture.
