BM0121 Dining Table Extension Leaf

Extension Leaf for the BM0121 Dining Table.

The essential BM0121 Dining Table Extension Leaf, designed by celebrated Danish architect Børge Mogensen for Carl Hansen & Son, transforms the iconic BM0121 circular dining table into a versatile entertaining solution. Measuring precisely 47.2" W x 23.6" D, this extension component perfectly complements Mogensen's innovative 1952 design, embodying his lifelong mission of creating adaptable furniture that responds to varying human needs.

Available in either FSC-certified solid oak to match the table's premium construction or practical MDF for a more accessible price point, this extension leaf represents Mogensen's democratic design philosophy at its finest. As a student of influential designer Kaare Klint and later an esteemed educator himself, Mogensen developed a distinctive approach that eliminated unnecessary elements while prioritizing quality materials and functional excellence—principles clearly visible in this thoughtfully engineered extension system.

When integrated with the BM0121 Dining Table (available separately), this extension leaf seamlessly expands your dining capacity from an intimate four-person gathering to a generous six-person entertainment space—ideal for hosting dinner parties, holiday celebrations, or spontaneous gatherings in your dining room. The leaf's design maintains the table's characteristic light expression, complementing the 19mm thick tabletop, tapered legs, and upward-curving apron that defines the BM0121's refined aesthetic.

Børge Mogensen's exceptional contribution to Danish Modern furniture earned him prestigious accolades including the Eckersberg Medal (1950), the Danish Furniture Prize (1971), and recognition as Honorary Royal Designer for Industry by London's Royal Society of Arts (1972). By incorporating this extension leaf with your BM0121 Dining Table, you're not only enhancing your home's functionality but also embracing an authentic piece of Scandinavian design history—a testament to Mogensen's enduring philosophy that quality furniture should adapt to people, not the other way around.

For collectors and design enthusiasts seeking to complete their Danish Modern dining ensemble, this essential extension component represents the perfect complement to the BM0121's intelligent and elegant design heritage.
