Simple, sturdy and space-efficient – the extendable S-Table showcases designer Marcel Gascoin’s mastery of form and function. The rectangular tabletop slides apart to allow the two neatly-concealed extension leaves to be slotted into place, giving options for six, eight or ten dinner guests. Clean, simple lines, elegant tapered legs, strength of frame and precise craftsmanship give it a timeless quality and uncompromised functionality. Conceived in 1951 by Gascoin for the living quarters of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in France, the ingenious flexibility and understated elegance that made it popular then is just as relevant now. Today’s S-Table by GUBI is available in solid and veneered oak or walnut, with a fixed version also an option. It is part of a unified Gascoin collection that includes the B-Table, C-Chair and Trèfle Stool. Crafted from wood, they offer consistent and adaptive solutions for the dining room or office.

French designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading furniture designers of the post-war era. He played a vital role in the reconstruction of France after World War II, where his streamlined wooden furniture, focused on clean aesthetics and functionality, became the staple for 1950s French households.
Gascoin worked as an interior architect and designer with the French Ministry of Reconstruction and Urbanism to design and build homes and the furniture to fill them during the post-war housing crisis in France. Forward-thinking for his time and with a strong social conscience, Gascoin’s democratic design drew lines between art and industry, converging clean aesthetics with rational manufacturing processes.
