No. 2 Dining Table
The Sibast No 2 dining table takes its inspiration from the minimalist No 1 side table by Helge Sibast. It is an extension and interpretation of this timeless design from the late 1950s and respects Helge Sibast’s principle that a chair should never be hidden under a table, but placed beside it. The dining table is a refined design that combines function and aesthetics from a new perspective. It was designed by Anna and Ditlev Sibast assisted by the insight and expertise of Bodil Sibast, who followed in the footsteps of her father, Helge Sibast, as a furniture designer and cabinet-maker. True to the philosophy of Helge Sibast, the stringent, narrow dining table highlights the beauty of the chairs beside it.

Sibast Furniture
The year was 1908. In the countryside on the island of Funen in Denmark the son of a skilled cabinetmaker was born. His name was Helge Sibast. Helge Sibast grew up and became his fathers apprentice. He worked hard, dedicated and soon developed skills of high quality craftsmanship. He took over his fathers business and began expanding. Thinking about craftsmanship in a new way. He had a natural sense for challenging wood as a material and began creating his own designs.
By the 1950’s and 60’s he had created a furniture factory employing over 120 craftsmen crafting some of the finest furniture in Danish design history. The furniture was sold around the world. The company was called Sibast Furniture. That man was my grandfather.
Helge Sibast passed away in 1985 and Sibast Furniture was no longer in our family. A great adventure had come to an end.
The years went by, and one very inspiring day in the spring of 2013, I together with my wife Anna Sibast discovered a forgotten beauty designed by my grandfather in 1953 – the chair Sibast No 8. It was too unique to let go. And we decided to re-launch the Danish Design Classic. And by what other name could we do it than the name Sibast Furniture.
