Postmodern Extendable Dining Table ‘Foliant’ by Dick Spierenburg for Castelijn, 1990
Designed by Dutch designer Dick Spierenburg for Castelijn in 1990, the ‘Foliant’ dining table is a sculptural ode to natural form and organic geometry. The soft triangular tabletop and fluidly curving legs evoke the unfolding of a leaf — a theme reflected in both name and structure.
Balancing precision and play, the table captures the essence of Dutch postmodern design: architectural yet warm, rational yet deeply connected to nature. The contrasting tones of wood and black lacquer create a dynamic visual rhythm, while the extendable mechanism reveals the table’s functional elegance.
