CH338 Dining Table: An Extended Masterpiece by Hans J. Wegner
The CH338 dining table is an extended version of Hans J. Wegner's 1962 CH337 table, originally designed for four people and now reimagined to comfortably accommodate six. Retaining the signature elliptical tabletop of the CH337, the CH338 offers exceptional flexibility with its extendable design. Additional leaves can be installed to extend the table surface, seamlessly catering to larger gatherings. Whether hosting intimate family dinners or festive celebrations, this versatile table adapts effortlessly to any occasion.
Available in mahogany or oak, the CH338 table exudes natural warmth and elegance. The rich tones of mahogany bring a sense of refinement, while oak's understated simplicity adds a touch of rustic charm. The oval tabletop, paired with rounded edges and gracefully tapered legs, creates a harmonious and timeless design. Its minimalist yet sophisticated aesthetic ensures the CH338 complements a wide variety of interior styles, elevating the ambiance of any home space.
When speaking of Hans J. Wegner, one cannot overlook his legendary status in the world of furniture design. Over his prolific career, Wegner created nearly 500 chair designs, many of which have become iconic. Among his most celebrated works is the Wishbone Chair (Y-Chair), first produced in 1950 and still revered as a symbol of design excellence. Wegner’s design philosophy emphasized achieving ultimate functionality and beauty through simplicity. His ability to seamlessly balance practicality with artistic expression remains the hallmark of his work and the enduring allure of his designs.
