Extendable tables practical and refined

Extending tables: at home can not miss

The extendable tables have the undeniable practical advantage to easily change the size as needed and add a seat at the table when the number of guests is higher than usual!
In addition to the common tables in metal or plastic material, typically suitable for outdoor use, there are models tailored for dining rooms and living rooms and then manufactured following the dictates of a refined design and quality materials.
Let's take a look at some ideas to bring to the sprint in our house!

Practical quickly extendable tables

Innovation and sustainability are the watchwords for the proposed Team 7, a leading manufacturer of furniture and accessories in natural wood.
Made in full respect of nature, their products are highly flexible and customizable in every aspect, ideal for the house as for the office furniture.

It is called Flaye and it projects the extension table into a new era: surpassing the aesthetic standards, this table reveals a masterpiece of engineering, the result of two years of intense work.

Because it is the first and only table that opens and closes with only one hand.

Thanks to the pioneering and innovative technology of synchronized extraction, the extensions of Flaye, that are in the central part of the table, may be opened or closed in a few seconds.

With one intuitive gesture of the hand, the retractable shelf opens in a single movement.

To close it again just pull the top to release it from the extensions and then push it; a simple gesture that encloses a complex mechanism of engineering and exploiting the accumulation of strength in engineering.
Thanks to 2Soft patented by Team 7, the extensions are supported gently on the floor, making smooth and silent the opening and closing of Flaye.

This table, designed by designer Jacob Strobel, is systematic in the form and materials, it represents the exciting contrast between nature and technology thanks to the elegant and harmonious proportions of the elements that contributes to a slender frame, available in wood or, novelty, colored leather that hides elegantly the integrated nonstop mechanism, extolling the the table top.

The formal language, nearly sculptural, shows the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, represented mainly by the small groove in the profile slightly curved of the top that put near to the panel in leather, becomes a design element.

The conical legs, the fine drop section, offer a different aesthetic from every angle. Flaye is available in seven types of wood, in a fixed or extendable version, framed in wood or leather, the latter available in twenty-two shades of colors.
In the extensible version, with extension 100 cm, Flaye comes in three lengths of 180, 200 or 225 cm, then coming up to a maximum of 325 cm in extension.
Even the width is variable: 90, 100 or 110 cm.

Elegant extendable tables for the garden

Fashion colors and contrasting recalls to the wooden beams draw the harmonious and cozy corners of the garden set complete with a table and seat, realized on the design by Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi.
It's called Laurel and Palm and is a smart proposal, for strong color choices and great personality, which fits in different outdoor spaces without forgetting the basic requirements of practicality and durability.


The table Alloro has a slatted top in DurelTOP, highly draining and slender legs in powders coated aluminum, gives it particular strength and stability.
Available with 6 seats fixed top but proposed also in the practical extendable version, to accommodate up to 8 people.

Matched to the table is a chair with armrests Palma, polypropylene fiber-glass with seat and backrest characterized by wide slats; legs spread in bundles touching the seat and backrest.

The table can be easily disassembled for a convenient winter storage and the chiars are stackable. They are both easy to clean, they have an extreme resistance to weathering and they do not require maintenance at the end of the season.

The coloring is unique: a unique combination of orange and coffee.
The extendible version is available in the following dimensions: 210 cm x 100 cm open x 73 cm (height), closed 140 cm x 100 cm x 73 cm (height).

Like all Nardi collections, these models are produced entirely in Italy and made 100% of recyclable materials.

Extendable tables in innovative materials

Hans is a unique extendable table designed by Antonio Citterio for B & B Italy, recently presented in a new version. The theme of the extension table has been addressed by the designer with two different solutions.
Both are equipped with a new opening system that allows the immediate extraction of the central element and have a quite thick glass, in white and gray.


The basic structures distinguish them:
-the first type is in natural oak or black, with the typical trestle-shaped legs tapered and given a lighter look thanks to the curvature of the inside, and under-top, in oak as well, is houses the mechanism of top extraction;

-the second type has four aluminum legs, as well as the structure of the opening mechanism, can be painted in four colors chalk white, desert, steel gray and plum.

Unique for both variants is the size that, starting from 220 x 100 cm, for a total of six seats, with the special top can be expanded up to 280 x 100 cm, thus arriving at ten seats.
