The most likely names would be Adrian and Ditte Heath and Mogens Koch. Adrian and Ditte Heath drew a shaker table for Cado which has a very similar table top. But I have only seen your table attributed to Mogens Koch. (Lauritz among others, not a very reliable source, of course). This might seem odd at first but to me it is not unlikely at all. Koch had his haydays in the 30s, he is known first and foremost for the shelving system and the folding chairs he designed for Rud. Rasmussen befor the war. But as a matter of fact, in the early 70s he handed over the production rights for the folding chairs to Cado. What now follows is only speculation: this move might very well have caused him to design something new for Cado, say, a matching table. Koch had a thing for folding tables and chairs. And if you look at the table, you also find fittings there that somehow resemble the brass fittings from the famous folding chairs.

Other names related to Cado: Arne Vodder, Steen Ostergaard, Ole Gjerlov Knudsen, Poul Cadovious himself, Poul Pedersen, Kay K
