The Dulwich table is slender in its appearance. It is made of solid wood with a veneer top which gives the table a sturdy look and feel. The solid wood legs and under-frame supports a generously wide table top, while maintaining its minimal aesthetic. The slim legs maximise legroom for an enjoyable seating experience and the extending feature is cleverly stored inside the table so the design is not compromised in any way. These extending leaves are precisely hidden inside the table which can easily be extended by one person due to the smooth, gliding metal runners with ball bearings.
Born in 1957, British furniture designer 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 went on to set up his own design studio/workshop in 1984. In 1986, SCP was the first designer furniture manufacturer to produce Hilton’s work.
Matthew Hilton has since gone on to work with many international furniture manufacturers including CASE, Montis, Authentics and De La Espada.
