Portal
Portal owes its impeccable looks to a unique way in which the legs are connected to the top. This minimalist model beautifully presents the natural beauty of solid wood. Perfectly balanced form makes this centrepiece very versatile and functional. I will look amazing in any interior.
An extendable version is available. The table has no seams when not extended, the side of the table pulls out so legs are always in the corners. It has two 50 cm leafs so can be extended to two sizes. The extra leafs are discreetly stored beneath the table top when not in use.
Types of wood we use in the table.
All hardwood comes from deciduous trees that grow slowly and live up to 150-300 years. Because of the slow growth, the wood is much denser and stronger than softwood. Also as the trees are so long-lived they are naturally very resistant to mould, fungus and moisture.
The furniture made with hardwood is resilient and long-lived. We have all seen 500 year old oak desks in palaces of past kings and museums.
We wouldn’t want to sacrifice beautiful oak for any everyday items, but a dining table is one of the most important pieces in all homes, the heart that has to be strong and beautiful to be there for those children of ours growing up, for those life changes and tears of joy.
We make our tables to last lifetimes. If you take care of your table there is a good chance it is the only table you will ever have. We go for a simple design to make sure it remains timeless. The wood is oiled with natural oils so even if you break our hearts and get rid of it in the remote future, it does not create toxic waste, it is completely neutral to the environment. We also make sure that our wood is responsibly sourced from FSC certified sources.

Looking for a different size?
No problem, this table can be made to order in a bespoke size. We regularly cooperate with interior architects and we can make a bespoke table. Please contact us to discuss.
The legs of the table are detached for transport to allow for safe shipping and ease of access to your home. The legs will need to be assembled using the screws and instructions provided. It is recommended that the assembly is done by two people.
Extension mechanism we use in the table.
In this table, we use the extension mechanism called 'Butterfly'.
The great advantage of 'Butterfly' is keeping a table seamless when not extended.
In this mechanism, we extend a whole frame so legs are always at the edge of the table.
Extra leaf (leaves) is stored within the table (see video above).
We can add 1 or 2 leaves and extend a table maximum by a meter (e.g. 2x50cm or 1x100cm)
Tables in our range with this mechanism: Prism, Portal.
