Why Choose the Florence Extending Table?

Imagine a dining table that's so visually striking, guests are impressed before they even sit down. The Florence table delivers exactly that—a perfect fusion of industrial edge and organic warmth. Picture hosting dinner parties where the dramatic spider-leg base becomes a talking point, festive celebrations where the table extends to welcome everyone, or everyday family meals where the rustic wood brings warmth and character to your space.

The oval shape is inherently more social than rectangular tables—no one sits at awkward corners, and everyone feels equally included in the conversation. The soft curves create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages lingering over meals, while the extending mechanism means you're always prepared for unexpected guests or special occasions.

Architectural Spider Base: The geometric metal framework is pure drama. The angular legs radiate from a central point, creating dynamic visual interest from every angle. This isn't just functional engineering—it's sculptural art that happens to support your dining table. The matte black finish adds contemporary sophistication while the substantial steel construction ensures rock-solid stability.

Rustic Wood Character: The oval top features natural wood grain patterns and warm grey-brown tones that bring organic beauty and texture. The rustic finish celebrates the wood's natural character, with visible grain and subtle colour variations that make each table unique. This warmth balances the cool metal base beautifully, creating a piece that's edgy yet inviting.

Extending Versatility: The clever extending mechanism transforms your table from everyday family dining to grand entertaining. Hosting a dinner party? Simply extend the table to welcome extra guests. Daily family meals? Keep it compact and cosy. This adaptability makes it perfect for modern living, where flexibility is key.

Oval Advantages: Oval tables are brilliant for real-life dining. The curved edges allow easier movement around the table, making them perfect for smaller dining rooms or open-plan spaces. There are no sharp corners to bump into, making them safer for homes with young children. The shape also maximises seating capacity—you can often fit more people around an oval table than a rectangular one of similar length.

Industrial Chic Styling: The Florence table embodies contemporary industrial design—raw materials, honest construction, geometric forms, and dramatic presence. It works beautifully in industrial lofts with exposed brick, modern apartments with concrete floors, contemporary homes with clean lines, or eclectic spaces that mix styles fearlessly.

Perfect for Entertaining: Whether you're hosting formal dinner parties, casual family meals, festive celebrations, or Sunday lunches, this table provides the space and presence needed for memorable occasions. The generous oval surface accommodates elaborate place settings, stunning centrepieces, and abundant serving platters with ease.

Versatile Styling: The mixed materials work with various chair styles. Pair with industrial metal chairs for cohesive edge, upholstered seats for luxurious comfort, wooden chairs for warm contrast, or mix different styles for an eclectic, curated look. The neutral wood and black metal provide a foundation that works with any colour scheme.

Space-Enhancing Design: The oval shape creates visual flow and takes up less perceived space than rectangular tables. The open spider-leg base allows light to pass through, preventing the table from feeling heavy or overwhelming. The extending feature means you don't need to size up to a permanently large table.

Built to Last: The powder-coated steel frame is incredibly durable, resisting scratches, chips, and corrosion. The wood top is finished for protection and longevity. This is investment furniture built for real life, real families, and real entertaining.

Easy to Maintain: The wood top wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. The metal base requires minimal maintenance—just wipe with a soft cloth to keep it looking pristine. The rustic finish means minor marks add to the character rather than detracting from it.
