In 1956 Peder Moos designed and made this unique and perfectly crafted table for the Danish engineer Dahl – a man intent on making sure that his furniture was always perfectly level. Known for his meticulousness and extreme perfectionism, before designing the table, M oos stayed with the family for three days – sleeping on the floor – just to get the feel of the room. The result is a stunning piece of furniture marking the absolute pinnacle of Danish furniture design.
