Matthew Hilton

Matthew Hilton furniture is built in the belief of creating furniture that people live with. His inspiration often comes from long-established furniture forms. He doesn’t believe in design movements, and he really doesn’t like the concept of design as a fashion.

Product details

The versatile Dulwich Extending Table is a prime example of award-winning British designer Matthew Hilton’s unwavering commitment to functionality. The tabletop expands with a smooth and simple pull, allowing for the addition of two extra leaves. These elements can be stored in the concealed compartment under the table top when not in use. Its slender legs also draw away from the corners to maximise leg room.

Without the extension, the table comfortably seats 6-10 and can be expanded to seat 8-12.

Aesthetics, however, are not compromised for the sake of practicality. Sleek, clean-lines are paired with curving edges to create a sleek silhouette that recalls icons of mid-century furniture design.

The table features solid wood legs, edge and under-frame in a choice of oak, walnut or black stain and a veneered top and leaves. There’s also a felt-lined under-frame leaf storage and mechanical ball-bearing extension system.

Two-person assembly required.

Care Instructions

To prolong the life of the product and retain its appearance and functionality, we would like to give you some relevant information and care advice:

This unit is manufactured with either oak, black stained oak or walnut.

Craftsmen manufacture this product and there is variety between each unit. This is because wood is a natural product, with natural colour and grain variations.

Natural timber is affected by sunlight; this can cause the wood colour to darken (if oak), or lighten (if walnut). For this reason (especially if placed in direct sunlight) it is recommended that placing objects in the same position for long periods of time is avoided. This potential colour adjustment becomes less relevant as the product ages.

Please note that if the extension leaf is stored inside the table for long periods without exposure to light, the natural richening of the wood will be limited. This will cause the leaf to appear lighter than the rest of the table until it has been exposed to a similar level of sunlight.

It is recommended that no abrasive cleaners or solvents are used to clean the unit. Please only use proprietary furniture polishes or alternatively, warm water with a diluted mild detergent.
