Like the modern nomadic worker, the Shakers used their dining tables for everything—working, mending, laundry, food prep, and more. The traditional Shaker table has inspired designers across time and place (from Børge Mogensen in 1947 Denmark to today’s Heerenhuis in Belgium). Here are our 11 favorite Shaker-inspired tables.
