Since graduating from London’s Kingston Polytechnic in 1979, Matthew Hilton has built a following for his innovative furniture and lighting, with pieces held in the permanent collections of London’s Geffrye and Victoria & Albert Museums, among others. His Dulwich Extension Table (2016) - pronounced “dull-itch,” just like its London neighbor Greenwich - is a masterclass in function and craft. The piece’s slender legs draw outward from the corners, maximizing user legroom, while details like mitered joints and visible through-tenons speak to its artistry. Finished with a solid-wood edge banding for durability, the tabletop has a locking steel mechanism that easily opens to accommodate the table’s additional leaves. Made in Lithuania.

One rectangular table, three sizes.
Simply pull one end of the table and the top smoothly expands, allowing insertion of up to two leaves for three possible table lengths: 62.25", 80" and 97.25".

One round table, two sizes.
Designed for small spaces, the round table extends from 49.25" to 68.25" with one leaf.

After guests depart, store the leaves in the felt-lined compartment under the top – a feature that eliminates the “find the leaf” drama before gatherings.
