Dutch term or phrase: verjongende/verjonging (randafwerking)
Text outlines the requirements for a brochure about a company's range of tables for office/home use.

• Minimalistisch ontwerp (ruimte creërend): het dun uitziende blad met de speciale randafwerking en de slanke driehoekspoot zijn kenmerkend.
De tafelbladen hebben een **verjongende** randafwerking waardoor het blad lijkt te zweven.

Must admit I glossed over that "verjongende" using "distinctive", but it's come back to bite me in the final list of points that must be mentioned in the brochure:

• Zorgvuldigheid van design en productie. Zoals b.v.:
- de HI-bedieningsknop is geheel geïntegreerd en bijna onzichtbaar weggewerkt en in kleur meegelakt.
- de weggewerkte tandwielkasten.
- 1 centrale motor voor de aandrijving van de 4 poten
- facettering/ **verjonging** van de bladrand

As far as I know, the design hasn't been revamped.
