Maple/Birch wood table
Your table appears to be American,--- Conant Ball, or Heywood Wakefield possibly?

I think it could well be danish or from greater Scandinavia. And to my eye tat looks like it might be teak. The photos look misleading as to color. The draw leaf table is an extremely common scandinavian design. So it is entirely possible it is generic. And if there is a designer you will need some luck and to find a telling detail to separate it from the rest.

Not H&W
I'm pretty sure that the base is made of beech. I can't be sure of the top. It is not H&W for sure. It may just be 20thC Scand production.. it just doesn't sit right as true danish mid-modern.

The table is Danish, top is teak and frame is usually beech wood. This design is very common and was produced as early as the late 1950's and continued well into the 1980's. Occasionally you can find them in rosewood. Theyre usually marked the letters 'AM' with a number immediatelt after.
I have no idea who designed or manufactured them but they sold at places like Copenhagen's on the west coast in the 1960's.

Found a table like yours on e-bay.co.uk which shows a label. Knud Nielsen: Mobelfabrik Losning. Made in Denmark

I'm wondering that this kind of table is so extensively discussed, it's not a classic, it's just an ordinary table.

I sometimes
feel the same way. On the other hand, there is always interest in a phenomenon. In this case that would be the apparent popularity of this form, in one place or another in the world -- and whoever made this example was onto something, it would seem. Why not learn all we can ?

The form of the draw leaf tab...
The form of the draw leaf table is a really good magic trick. The sort that entrances the viewer even when they know how it works. There is something amazingly surprising about how the leaf can be underneath the top, then you pull it straight out and everything snaps into place and it is flush with the top.

table
The fact the legs are not jointed but bolted to the rest of the table top with bolts and steel brackets, there is no manufacturer mark at all, the cheaper looking wood and simple design would perhaps lead you to think it was mass produced and not factory designed in Denmark. Perhaps IKEA.
