Every Accordion Table is made by hand at Tvin, in Virovitica, Croatia.
Since 1913
What you make carries the weight of everyone who touched it before you.
1913
French investors build a sawmill in Virovitica to cut the oak that grows all around the town. Tvin starts here.
1920
A large furniture factory rises next to the mill. The oak now leaves Virovitica as furniture, not only as boards.
1953
Tvin makes its first industrially produced table, the Kancel.
1966
The designer Bernardo Bernardi starts working with Tvin. His armchairs and modular systems furnish landmark offices in Zagreb.
1990s
Through the hard years of the nineties, the workers become Tvin's shareholders and keep the factory going.
2015
The Vampovac family takes over Tvin. Hrvoje Vampovac leads it today.
Today
Eight years of work on one mechanism: an oak table that opens in one motion, made by hand in the town where the mill began.

The founders
Accordion Table began as an attempt to solve an everyday mismatch: between how people live most of the time, and how their furniture responds when life changes.
01Co-founder, workshop
“If something carries your name, it had better be worth the years it takes to build it right.”
CEO of the Tvin factory. He didn't inherit a business, he inherited a standard, and spent eight years developing a mechanism that looked impossible, until it wasn't.
02Co-founder, brand
“This belongs in every home.”
The first time Slobodan saw the table, he stopped. Seven seconds of silence. He didn't see a piece of furniture, he saw permission to gather without limits. He turned to Hrvoje. No pitch, no analysis, just the truth.
How it's made
More than 40 hours of handwork go into every table, made in Virovitica.
01
Slavonian oak, slow-grown in the forests around Virovitica.
02
The logs are sawn into boards at Tvin's own mill.
03
The boards are stacked and left to dry before anyone works them.
04
Boards are chosen by eye, then glued and clamped into solid panels.
05
The lattice is fitted to the mechanism by hand, one slat at a time.
Solid wood throughout, not veneer, not composite.
Hosting should adapt to people, not the other way around.
