Mid Century Habitat Oak & White Formica Folding Dining Table, 1960s

A beautifully practical mid century folding dining table by Habitat, dating from the late 1960s–early 1970s. Designed with compact living in mind, this piece combines a crisp white Formica top with a warm solid oak frame, creating a timeless contrast that works effortlessly in both vintage and contemporary interiors.

 

The table features a clever drop-leaf folding mechanism, allowing it to transform from a slim console-style footprint into a generous dining surface. When folded away, it stores neatly and discreetly, making it ideal for apartments, kitchens, studios, or flexible dining spaces. Clean lines, honest materials, and understated Scandinavian-inspired proportions define the design.
