Incredible Kurt Ostervig Danish Design Mid Century Drop Leaf Dining Table
About the Item
Designed by acclaimed Danish designer Kurt Østervig for Jason Møbler circa 1960, this sculptural drop-leaf dining table is a masterclass in mid-century form and function. Crafted in rich teak, it features Østervig’s signature architectural base with dramatic triangulated stretchers—both visually striking and structurally sound.
The oval tabletop extends generously with two hinged leaves, offering flexible functionality and an elegant silhouette. Each side drops down smoothly, allowing the table to transition easily from a full dining configuration to a compact console or occasional table.
This piece has been professionally restored and is presented in superb vintage condition, having been newly refinished and re-lacquered to enhance its warm, natural grain while preserving its original integrity. The craftsmanship is evident in the exquisite joinery—particularly the precision-cut exposed finger joints at the hinges.
This table embodies the essence of Danish modernism: sculptural, functional, and timeless. Whether used for dining, entertaining, or as a statement piece in a curated interior, it remains as relevant and refined today as it was in the 1960s.

Kurt Østervig
Kurt Ejvind Østervig was born in 1912 in Odense, Denmark. He was originally trained and worked as a shipbuilding engineer. However, by the 1930s Østervig shifted to furniture design because of his passion for woodworking.
Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. In 1947, Østervig opened his first own studio as a freelance furniture designer, with a focus on modern design. In the following decades, he worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture producers of the period.
Østervig was exceptionally versatile, designing furniture for hotels, cinemas, and won numerous design competitions during his career. He won awards at the Milan Triennale in 1953 and 1960. In the 1960s, one of Østervig’s designs was selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Østervig had a flair for the dramatic, infusing his furnishings with unique elements that stood out. From elegant, organic to coarse and purely functional furniture, his versatility earned him recognition.
