Designed with family in mind, the Northern Expand Dining Table is generously proportioned and supremely robust. The slightly angled legs and curved apron are rendered in beautifully hand-crafted solid oak, imbuing the table with a sense of lightness, while updating the form of the dining table for a contemporary audience.
The table can be expanded with the addition of removable extension leaves, the inbuilt system designed with smoothness and ease of use at its heart.
Sami Kallio was born in Helsinki, Finland, and moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, at the age of two. In Kallio’s own words, his work combines the melancholy of the Finnish design heritage with the humour of the Swedish tradition.
In 2009, Kallio co-founded the Gothenburg-based furniture manufacturer Brikolör. The company aims to produce furniture with a guaranteed technical durability of 300 years. In 2011, he established Sami Kallio Studio, and launched his first collection, The Finnish Blood in Me.
