A beautifully restored Australian mid-century extension dining table from Fler's sought-after Flervilla range.

Produced during the early 1970s under Aristoc ownership, the Flervilla range is admired for its clean architectural lines and understated elegance. This table features beautifully rounded solid blackwood legs and striking solid blackwood trim, providing a rich contrast against the warm teak top. The timber has developed a wonderful depth of colour, with an exceptional grain that is particularly prominent across the tabletop.

The table has been fully restored in our workshop, carefully stripped and refinished in a durable hard wax oil. This finish enhances the natural beauty of the timber while providing excellent protection for everyday family use. It feels silky smooth to the touch and is easily maintained and repaired if required.

Country of Origin: Australia

Australian company FLER, an anacronym of the two owners Fred Lowen and Ernst Rodeck; two friends who met at a Jewish Concentration Camp during WW11, who later migrated to Australia. Together the two friends became built one of Australia's leading furniture manufacturers, becoming one of Australia's most prominent designer-duos of the 20th Century. They started their workshop in a
horse stable with little knowledge of wood and manufacturing techniques. In 1948, with the help of Fred Ward (who at the time was designing for Myer Emporium) they produced simple spindle legged dining chairs. The range expanded to include dining, bedroom and lounge furniture. This was the beginning of a design oeuvre that lasted almost two decades. Some of their designs were featured in the Australian Pavilion at the Montreal Expo in 196 alongside other prominent designers such as Grant and Mary Featherston. The partnership was hugely successful with a clean and attractive aesthetic that epitomized the progressive post-war optimism of the time. In 1968, Fred Lowen left Fler to start his own company, Twen, later known as Tessa, still in operation today.
