C65 Åstrup extendable dining table, 170 x 90 cm, lacquered oak

The simple, streamlined look of the FDB Møbler C65 dining table hides a clever secret: the oak table features convenient built-in extensions that can be pulled out from the ends of the table whenever necessary. Designed by Isabel Ahm, the elegant Åstrup dining table draws inspiration from the human body – its rounded legs are like shoulders that tirelessly support the beautiful tabletop. The refined, timeless look of the extendable Åstrup table lives up to the designer’s promises, as Ahm is known to have said that her creations must be compatible with both existing and future furniture.

Danish FDB Møbler is strongly rooted in the icons of Danish furniture design. FDB, the Danish Consumers’ Co-operative Society, was founded in 1940 to produce functionalist and democratic design for ordinary people – thanks to the new industrial production, FDB could manufacture high-quality furniture at low prices. During the next decades, designers such as Børge Mogensen and Poul M. Volther created numerous timeless pieces of Danish furniture design. FDB closed its factory in 1980, but in 2013 the Danish Coop launched FDB Møbler and started re-releasing some of the most beloved products of the mid-century Danish design. In addition to the classics, FDB Møbler creates new furniture inspired by the old collections.
