France & Son Dining Room Tables

Danish

Danish manufacturer France & Søn is best known for its prolific output of elegant mid-century modern furnishings in teak and leather, yet its multinational beginnings took shape during the 1930s.

After businessman Charles William Fearnley France (1897–1972) moved from his native England to Denmark in 1936, he began to operate a small mattress factory alongside his friend Eric Daverkosen, a Danish cabinetmaker, under the name France & Daverkosen. Shortly afterward, Daverkosen passed away, and when Denmark was invaded during the Second World War, Charles was captured and sent to a prison camp in Germany. When he was released, the British entrepreneur set out to produce furniture in the early 1950s, setting up a shop in Hillerød to manufacture the kind of sleek beech and teak goods that were gaining widespread acclaim around the world. In 1957, France’s son James joined the business, and the company changed its name to reflect the addition.

Throughout the ’50s and ’60s, France & Søn produced a stunning array — and staggering quantity — of designs, with elegant modernist lounge chairs and armchairs, teak and rosewood dining tables and other furnishings by the likes of Finn Juhl, Grete Valk, Ole Wanscher, Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen all gracing its catalogues.

Even as there was a focus on mass production at France & Søn — and the brand doesn’t quite enjoy the same renown as fellow mid-century Danish furniture makers such as Carl Hansen & Søn — Charles France believed in making quality furniture, and the company’s offerings evoke the warmth of the handcrafted work that is typically associated with Scandinavian modernism.

In the 1960s, the company was bought by Danish designer Poul Cadovius, who folded it into the operations at CADO, a company he founded during the 1950s. Surviving examples of early work from the brand as well as modern icons by the likes of Verner Panton that followed in later years continue to be in demand.

Sculpted Teak Extension Dining Table, Finn Juhl, France & Daverkosen, 1950's
By Finn Juhl, France & Daverkosen, France & Søn
Located in Culver City, CA
Designed by Finn Juhl for France & Daverkosen, in the 1950's, this dining table bears both the France and Daverkosen as well as the France and Son seals. This sculpted teak dining table is composed of solid teak, unlike most Danish teak dining tables which are veneered. Finn Juhl really designed this table with an understated elegance, sculpted and pointed downward ends of the table with the deign echoed by the framing of the table. The table pulls at both ends to expose the hidden storage for the 2 leaves that can be used to extend the dining table to comfortably accommodate 10-12 people. Each leaf measures 19.75". This dining table really is gorgeous, with an aerodynamic airplane design of sorts with the subtle angular lines throughout. We currently have this dining table in the gallery paired with a set of 6 Harry Ostergaard dining chairs...
