Design Icon: The Mindo 111 Extendable Dining Table
A strikingly simple dining table solution with a rather clever mechanism.
The Mindo Extendable Dining Table is a beautiful piece of technical design that also scores high on aesthetics. Sleek yet robust, slim yet durable, its minimal design offers all you need from an extendable dining table with none of the unnecessary extras.
What sets this table apart is its patented, unique extension mechanism.
This simple pull-and-extend mechanism eliminates the need for extra leaves, making it an effortless and fast way to extend your table for those unforeseen - or planned - guests.
And with three sizes available to suit a range of needs, The Mindo 111 fits into a wide range of outdoor settings, from urban balconies to spacious gardens.
The design and features
The design of this high-end table means that functionality, form and convenience come first.
The tabletop is made from teak wood, which is known for its exceptional durability, water-resistance and ability to withstand outdoor weather conditions.
Paired with its powder-coated aluminium frame which makes it both lightweight, rust-resistant and long-lasting, it is a premium blending of materials designed to offer flawless style and practicality.
Furthermore, with no cumbersome extension leaves required for the extension, the user doesn’t need to manually insert each extension piece or store them away when not in use.
Cue a fast, efficient table extension so you can double your guest list in an instant.
The Mindo 111 Extendable Dining Table also comes in two sizes, each offering different seating capacities when extended:
1.6m and 1.9m when extended, 0.9m wide
2.6m and 3.3m when extended, 1m wide
The result is a versatile design that suits everything from compact balconies, to patios and spacious gardens.
And with three muted, neutral finishes in Light Grey, Dark Grey and Dark Green to choose from, this table can both blend in and stand out in your outdoor setting.
The designer: Jesper K Thomsen
Born in Denmark in 1971, Jesper K. Thomsen is a celebrated designer who focuses on simplicity, functionality and high-quality craftsmanship.
After graduating in 2001 from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in industrial design, Thomsen started work as an industrial designer with various design studios.
Collaborating with Danish design company Mindo was a logical step due to Thomsen’s and Mindo’s shared specialisms and focuses on modern aesthetics, durable materials and long-lasting performance.
The two came together through the recognition Thomsen received from his innovative designs, particularly in outdoor furniture.
The result? The impressive Mindo 111 where innovative functionality meets timeless design.
How to pair it
With its clean lines, smooth surfaces and unobtrusive nature, it is a streamlined outdoor dining table that will suit minimal, modern and contemporary outdoor spaces.
The table can be paired with The Mindo 111 Extending Bench which shares the same patented mechanism to allow for extra seating and the same three colour finishes.
For a perfectly matched set of outdoor furniture for dining in style, pair them together for an elegant solution to seating — and dining.
