Project Brief

This elegant extending oak dining table can seat up to 14 and extend to 3.5 metres in length. Perfect for entertaining guests on a epic scale, it also shrinks down quickly and easily for everyday dining.

The customer’s challenge

Our customer wanted a versatile table that was small and neat enough to use everyday but could quickly and easily adapt to seat a large number of people for entertaining. The key to this project was to create a table that didn’t look as if it was an extending table and was easy to assemble and dissemble.

Our solution

Complex technical calculations were required to develop a concept that would allow the table to change dimension smoothly. We produced 3D CAD and computer rendered images during the design process until we had a design that achieved the precise look and functionality the customer wanted. Despite the complexity of the design, the use of oak and clean lines keeps its appearance minimal and sleek.

Special features:

  • Elegant appearance
  • Ability to extend to 3.5 metres.
  • Shrinks down when not in use.
  • Extends and retracts with minimal effort.Matching side table that integrates into the design to add extension.

David, our Creative Director, says:

“The finished table is a truly elegant piece of furniture that is a showstopper when guests arrive. The clever use of matching furniture to add length when needed means the table is easy to extend and doesn’t have any complex mechanisms.”
