Nawrocki announced the decision on Thursday, saying the Round Table should remain part of historical debate but should not be "idealised" by being displayed at the Presidential Palace.
"A sovereign, ambitious Poland can do better than idealise the Round Table," Nawrocki said, speaking as workers dismantled the table behind him, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The presidential office later said it would retain ownership of the table, which will be placed on long-term display at the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw as part of a permanent exhibition scheduled to open in 2027.
"Today, post-communism ended in Poland," Nawrocki said.
He said participants in the 1989 talks represented divergent interests. Some sought free elections and a decisive break with communism, while others, he argued, aimed to preserve communist political and financial influence in post-communist Poland.
"There were also those who wanted a hybrid state, combining democracy with elements of communism," Nawrocki said.
The Round Table Room at the Presidential Palace was created in 2004 during the presidency of Aleksander Kwaśniewski.
The Round Table talks followed a decision by Poland's communist leadership in August 1988 to negotiate with parts of the opposition amid widespread strikes and social unrest.
Formal talks began on February 6, 1989, and produced an agreement between the government and the opposition led by the Solidarity trade union.
The accord, signed on April 5, paved the way for partially free elections later that year and is widely seen as a turning point that helped trigger the collapse of communist rule in Poland and across Central Europe.
