Exceptional round extendable table designed by Dieter Wäckerlin for Idealheim, a characteristic example of Swiss design from the 1960s. Particularly striking is the elaborately designed tabletop with its small-scale wood mosaic surface, whose different grains and color tones create a lively, graphic overall impression. The striking base made of highly polished chrome-plated steel forms an exciting contrast to the warm wood surface. Two strong columns each transition into sculpturally shaped, multi-armed feet. The combination of wood and chrome gives the table an elegant yet technically modern appearance, typical of sophisticated Swiss furniture design of that era. The extendable construction is particularly interesting. Beneath the tabletop is an elaborately crafted system of solid wooden rails, guides, and fittings. The round top can be pulled apart and enlarged with the corresponding extension elements. Condition: Good authentic vintage condition with traces of age and use. The wood surface shows minor scratches, pressure marks, and slight irregularities. Age-related signs of wear are also present on the chrome-plated frame. Dimensions: L119-170 x W119 x H73 cm
