Fixed and modern extension tables

Post from Editorials

Let us look at the proposals of fixed and extending tables that I would call important, or to that category of tables which, by themselves, furnish a space and characterize it.

Fixed and modern pull-out tables


The table: somebody prefers it important, somebody focuses on minimalism, somebody loves to play with contrasts of style with the chairs, somebody focuses on the security of a uniform style, to keep with the rest of the furnishing. There are many reasons why everyone chooses a precise style for the table, first of all, though, there is definitely an important consideration to make, which is that the right way to relate the table to the size and type of the space.

In the first case, most of the times the choice of the table in the kitchen is oriented towards something very practical, almost always in line with the style of the furniture of the kitchen itself, also because often the table is also used as a work surface, then the finish surface will be of practical materials, for example of the same material of the top work. The other table instead reflect a more refined aesthetic taste, more formal, perhaps because it represents an important element of furniture in a representative area of the house.

In the second case, however, being the only table, it will necessarily have to fulfill both functions, ie it should be practical and functional, but at the same time furnish the space with style.


Fixed modern tables


Among the proposals for fixed tables that define it important, or that category of tables which, by themselves, furnish a space and characterize it, we mark three models: Octa by Bonaldo, Hybrid Decormarmi and Zed COM.P.AR, three articles completely different in materials and stylistic concept.

The table Bonaldo, Octa, has won the prestigious Good Design Award for the most innovative product of the year in the category of furniture. Like all award-winning products, including Octa will be exhibited permanently in the Chicago Athenaeum, which organizes since 1950 the prestigious international design award, in collaboration with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.
Bonaldo: Octa
There are eight legs of this very particular table, whose name derives precisely from the greek word octo. It was designed by Bartoli Design for Bonaldo, drawing inspiration from the game of shanghai. The eight legs are in fact the protagonists of this project, are made of metal rod bent and welded to an appearance of lightness and great strength and stability.

The plan Octa is available in various finishes, including the innovative surface made of Laminam®, a high performance finish, which makes this table ideal in open spaces, where it is also the only table available for lunch.

Among other finishes you point out also the lacquered wood or solid wood and crystal, always for the plan, while the base is in painted or chromed metal.

Hybrid, by Decormarmi is a table in the middle between the dining table and the tea table, both for aesthetic and size. It is made of marble and decorated with brass studs, and precisely because of these stylistic features is able to converse in harmony with the spaces around, performing multiple functions simultaneously.

Decormarmi: IbridoThe marble adopted in the implementation of Ibrido is the refined Verde Ming marble polished finished, while the brass-plated studs applied in draw a line pattern elegant cross on the floor.

Hybrid fits with its simple elegance in both classic and contemporary living spaces. Its measurements are 330 cm L x 74 cm W x 64 cm H.

Zed, Andrea Lucatello design, rather than a table is a sculpture. Available with walnut top or ceramic, has important measures: 240 cm x 100 cm.

COM.P.AR.: Zed Therefore it needs adequate spaces that give the correct visual perspective to this piece of furniture that is apparently make the visual effect de-stabilizing effect but, in fact, perfectly balanced of the base its real strength.

The clever interlocking of the two elements that make up the backbone of the top, has as a result a stylistic trait very sleek and lightweight, which makes sense, as the sign snappy pencil that has generated it on the sheet of paper.


Extendible table with glass


Space permitting, in an open space with one table-service kitchen and living room, an optimal solution is to place an extendable table, but also large enough also to be closed, perhaps with a glass top, visually lightweight material for definition, and that therefore doesn't burden with a bulky presence while allowing to have some more place, when necessary.

COM.P.AR.: Traverse Again by COM.P.AR., Traverse, design STC, has tempered glass top and chromed steel frame, and has measures 200 cm x 100 cm when closed, to which add 2 lateral extensions 45 cm each, equivalent to 4 more seats.

The structure of the base is positioned so as to allow comfortable sitting around, exploiting all the floor, even when it is fully open.
