Fantastic dining set from the ‘Abtracta’ series designed by Jos De Mey for Van Den Berghe-Pauvers during the 1960s. This set consists of a large extendable dining table and 8 (!) matching chairs made of walnut with a beautiful wood grain. The table can be extended thanks to a central foldable leaf which seats 8 people easily. Labeled by the maker and in very good restored condition. Rare set from first owner!
