Ebonised London plane extending dining table

L 1.8m to 2.8m x W 1.1m x H 0.76m

The clients were looking to replace an old extending dining table which they had fallen out of love with and which didn’t suit the large-scale renovation of their property. They were looking for a table with the same functionality as their existing one, but with much greater aesthetic presence within the space.

To fit their new scheme, consisting of a pallette of greys and olive-greens, wood with tonally too much orange or red wouldn’t have worked. So London plane was chosen, treated with a natural reactive stain which turns the wood this deep grey-brown colour but still retains the wonderful lacewood figuring in the grain.

The table base has horizontal supports on which the two removable extension leaves can be stowed away discretely when not in use.
