Any idea who designed this Dyrlund table?

Dyrlund distributed other factories’ stuff in foreign lands sometimes, so it might not actually be a Dyrlund at all

Maybe @vildbjerg-lkj knows something?

Interesting, I had no idea. I don't consider myself an expert by any means, but the quality of design & workmanship (and even just the liberal use of solid rosewood) seems to be to be so strikingly different from all of the other Dyrlund stuff I've seen - would make sense if it was made in a different factory. Thanks Leif! 

Not bad at all. I like this design and shape. Carry on!

@elmo But Dyrlund also has a long history and they changed their style quite a bit from the early sixties up to now. They changed management in the mid 70s after the untimely death of the company founder, and I think that this also meant a new approach on design, marketing and so on. I don't pretend to know anything about your table but I wouldn't exclude the possibility that's an early well made Dyrlund design. 

@elmo. I would love to see photos of the table with the draw leaves fully extended.

How interesting can be a dyrlung piece ? Very questionable. This factory is the antithesis of anything remarkable made till the early 60es in Denmark by cabinetmakers. Maybe too much of a sharp opinion ? Could be ! 

There are some Dyrlund designs that are far more interesting than the insignificant opinion of someone who has no idea about furniture and is unable to judge quality work.

Please, if it’s in your power, try not to get personal. 

This table and discussion proves that a Dyrlund table can be interesting.  Interesting is not exactly a high bar.  Just because something is not the height of design and construction does not mean it is uninteresting.   There may be many things that are more interesting.  And there are certainly Dyrlund tables that are entirely uninteresting (to me, unless something interesting has happened to them).  

And I don’t mean to suggest that it can’t be a Dyrlund table because it is not just like every other one.  It could be Dyrlund, but just because it is marked Dyrlund does not mean that Dyrlund did anything other than represent it on the export market.

If someone writes nonsense, then I get personal.
