Cross Extending Table By Matthew Hilton
Case
Designed by Matthew Hilton. The Cross Extending Table was awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark by The Furniture Makers Company in 2008. This award recognises the highest standards in the design of furnishings and lighting. It was also winner of the ELLE Decoration Award for Best in Furniture 2006 and the Homes & Gardens Classic Design Award in 2007.
Constructed from a solid wood base and a solid edge veneered top, the Cross Extending Table seats from 6 to 14 people. Felt-lined under-frame leaf storage ensures safe storage of the extension leaves and the mechanical ball-bearing extension system provides a smooth extension action. Finally, the table is finished with a clear polyurethane lacquer to provide a finish that will last.
We recommend pairing this table with either the 675 Chair by Robin Day, or the Profile Chair also by Matthew Hilton.

Matthew Hilton
Born in 1957, Matthew Hilton studied at Portsmouth College of Art and then at Kingston Polytechnic. After graduating he worked for Capa as an industrial designer and model maker. He then set up his own design studio/workshop in 1984.
Matthew Hilton doesn't believe in design movements, and he really doesn't like the concept of design as a fashion. Rather, he thinks the design process is part of the evolution of any object through history. Designing with the end user in mind, and whether that means a household of ten or one, he takes pleasure in finding the fluid, easily adaptable solution to fit today's domestic spaces.
