&Tradition’s Drop Leaf dining table was designed by the Danish duo Hvidt & Mølgaard in 1956. Drop Leaf was named after its folding, leaf-shaped tabletop – thanks to the hinged sections of the base, you can fold down the tabletop and store the table in a small space if needed. Adorned by natural grain patterns of solid wood, Drop Leaf has a sturdy yet graceful construction, and the beautiful brass hinges add to its timeless charm.

Designer
Design duo Hvidt & Mølgaard, formed by Peter Hvidt (1916–1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907–1993), was a pioneer of Danish mid-century design. The Copenhagen-based studio Hvidt & Mølgaard became famous for numerous refined furniture designs that are now known as icons of their era. Hvidt & Mølgaard’s designs combine a respect for traditional crafting methods with a forward-thinking approach to modern techniques and mass-production. Today, their work is exhibited in numerous museums, including New York’s MoMA and Melbourne’s National Gallery.
