When closed, the extension of the slim table is invisible. In just a few easy steps, the table top can be extended for two more seats.
The table top and extension are made from one piece of wood and then divided. The consistency of the wood grain and the symmetry of the striking edge profile yield an exciting and yet harmonious overall appearance. The slides of the extension are based on a metal rail, which is set into the underside of the table top. Through this innovative solution, the solid wood can swell and shrink naturally without affecting the extension function of the table.
London-based German designer Mathias Hahn has worked on diverse projects for clients such as Marset, Ligne Roset, Kvadrat, Kohler, Magazin and Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin.
Mathias has a natural desire for designing towards use and functionality. He pictures his work as having two sides. One is based on the idea to create objects that have a place in everyday life and solve a particular problem, the other one is more playful and related to the narrative side of the design process which often functions as a starting point.
