Sophisticated Extending Tables for Discerning Interiors

The versatility of an extendable dining table cannot be overstated in contemporary interior design. When space comes at a premium—as it so often does in London's distinguished residences—furnishings that offer adaptability without compromising on style become invaluable assets. Our collection at FCI London embraces this philosophy wholeheartedly.

What distinguishes our extending tables is the seamless integration of functionality with exquisite aesthetics. Unlike conventional extending mechanisms that often betray their presence, our tables conceal their pragmatic elements behind flawless design. The extension leaves store discreetly within the table structure, emerging only when summoned to accommodate additional guests. One moment you're hosting an intimate dinner for four; the next, you're comfortably seating twelve without a hint of compromise.

Each extendable table in our collection represents a commitment to materials of exceptional quality. We source sustainably harvested hardwoods, Italian marbles with unique veining patterns, and tempered glass with remarkable clarity and strength. Our craftspeople—with decades of experience—apply traditional joinery techniques alongside innovative engineering solutions to create pieces that function impeccably for generations.

The design process begins with understanding your specific requirements. Perhaps you require a table that extends from both ends, or maybe you prefer a single-direction extension. Some clients favour round tables that transform into oval configurations, while others appreciate rectangular forms that maintain their proportional elegance regardless of size. Whatever your preference, our design consultants will guide you through the possibilities with informed expertise and a keen awareness of your aesthetic vision.

Bespoke options abound within our collection. Beyond selecting dimensions and extension mechanisms, you'll choose from an extensive range of finishes—from subtle, matte lacquers to rich, hand-rubbed oils that enhance the natural character of the wood. Metal accents in brass, bronze, or blackened steel can provide contemporary contrast, while custom inlays offer opportunities for truly personalized expression. The table edge profile, leg design, and underframe construction are all elements that can be tailored to complement your interior scheme.

The beauty of investing in a luxury extending table lies in its remarkable adaptability. These pieces transition effortlessly between everyday family breakfasts and formal dinner parties with distinguished guests. For London homes where entertaining is both pleasure and necessity, this versatility proves invaluable. Our clients frequently express delight at how their extending tables have enhanced their hospitality possibilities—allowing them to welcome additional guests without sacrificing the refined atmosphere they've carefully cultivated.

Installation is handled with the same meticulous attention to detail that characterizes our manufacturing process. Our white-glove delivery service ensures your table arrives in pristine condition, and our installation specialists take extraordinary care when placing it within your home. We'll demonstrate the extension mechanism and provide guidance on maintaining your table's beauty for decades to come.

FCI London has built its reputation on creating furnishings that become treasured elements of distinguished homes throughout the capital and beyond. Our showroom in Northwest London welcomes you to experience these remarkable pieces firsthand—to feel the precision of their mechanisms, to appreciate the quality of their materials, and to envision how they might transform your own dining experience. We invite you to schedule a consultation with our design team, who will be delighted to explore how our extending tables might serve as the perfect foundation for your entertaining ambitions.
