Mid Century Teak Dining Set

About the Item

Mid Century Vintage mid century teak dining set by John Herbert for A Younger Ltd – Circa 1960s Sussex Elevate your dining space with this rare Mid Century Vintage Fonseca Table and Chairs Set designed by the acclaimed John Herbert for A Younger Ltd, circa 1960s. This iconic mid-century modern dining set combines timeless British craftsmanship with minimalist elegance, making it a standout piece for any home in Sussex or beyond. Expertly crafted from solid teak, this Fonseca dining table was originally produced for Heals and exemplifies the refined design aesthetic A Younger was celebrated for. The table features an elegant fixed-top surface with softly tapered edges and gracefully arched under-frame support, hallmarks of Herbert’s design style. With dimensions of 182 cm in length, 78 cm in width, and standing 73 cm tall, this spacious table comfortably seats six, offering two chairs on either side and room for a carver chair at each end. Mid Century Dining Set  One of the most functional features of this mid-century dining table is its slim, narrowing ends—perfect for space-saving in smaller dining rooms or open-plan areas. The chairs tuck in fully underneath the table, allowing the set to be pushed neatly against a wall when not in use, making it ideal for modern living. The accompanying set of six Fonseca dining chairs, also designed by John Herbert for A Younger, beautifully complements the table. Crafted in the same solid teak and freshly upholstered in a premium grey fabric, these chairs offer an ergonomic, supportive design ideal for everyday dining or entertaining. Their clean lines and subtle curves create a sense of understated sophistication, blending seamlessly into both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. A Younger was known for producing high-end, low-volume furniture in Britain throughout the 1950s and 60s, focusing on quality over quantity. As part of their coveted Fonseca range, this table and chairs set is a rare find—particularly in such outstanding condition. Condition: This wonderful dining table was discovered in an old barn at a country house in Bath, where it was covered in car oil; we believe it had been used as a workbench. It has been revitalized in our workshop and is now ready to be used and cherished for another 100 years. The table is in great used condition, with the top completely refurbished and stained to match the original A Younger chairs. Minor marks and wear are present, consistent with its age and authenticity. The chairs are structurally sound, fully restored, reupholstered, and ready for immediate use. Measurements: Table: L 183 cm x W 79 cm x H 73 cm Chairs: H 76 cm (Seat Height 46 cm) x W 49 cm x D 48 cm This stunning mid-century vintage Fonseca dining set is not just a functional table and chairs—it's a true investment piece for collectors, interior designers, and style-conscious homeowners. Contact us today to secure this rare John Herbert original and bring timeless mid-century design into your Sussex home.
