About the Item
André Sornay, extendable dining table, mahogany, ash, France, 1950s/1960s
This rare dining table, measuring 295 cm/116.14 in. in width when extended, is exemplary of his later work and showcases his innovative use of the patented tigette system: a modular construction technique that defined this phase of his career. With his final major invention, André Sornay demonstrated a remarkable capacity for self-reflection and innovation, rethinking his design approach to align with the evolving needs of his era. He introduced a groundbreaking concept: furniture constructed entirely from removable components, allowing for flexible assembly, transport, and adaptation; an idea well ahead of its time.
The structure of the piece is spare and orderly, yet visually engaging, thanks to a careful play of line, proportion, and contrast. At a glance, its silhouette is severe and rectangular, with rigid vertical and horizontal divisions in warm, rich mahogany that give the piece a modular, almost architectural quality. Despite the geometric rigidity, there is a quiet warmth and refinement to the design. The ash and mahogany keep the pieces from appearing cold or clinical.
Sornay integrated space underneath the top to function as additional storage space, providing a practical solution while maintaining a clean front. Overall, there is no ornamentation for its own sake; every element serves a structural purpose. A table that is thoughtful, resolved, and elegant in its quiet logic and perfectly encapsulates the 1950s modern ethos.
