Inspired by the functional prowess of Shaker furniture, the BM1771 Outdoor Dining Table from Carl Hansen stands the test of time with robust materials in a neat, foldable design. Creator Børge Mogensen’s human-centered design approach lends to this piece’s easy-to-read construction. A trim set of legs provide stability with angled segments that allow the piece to fold for easy storage. The tabletop guides the eye across it with a graphic slatted design. While arresting visually, this slatted design lets spills or rainwater to pass through for easy maintenance. The table’s wood construction develops a patina over time, showing its strength and maturity.
