Discover a Round Table That Opens in One Movement

The butterfly mechanism at the heart of this extendable dining table is the reason it changes shape so quickly. A leather handle sits beneath the top and gives you something solid to pull on, so the two halves separate without you needing to crouch or shift the whole frame. The 50 cm extension is folded and stored inside the table itself, which means there is no leaf to fetch from a cupboard and no risk of it warping in a loft over the winter. Everything the table needs in order to grow travels with it.

Closed, the round dining table keeps conversation tight; a circle has no head, so nobody is stranded at a corner and everyone sits within easy speaking distance. Opened, it becomes an oval and absorbs the extra guests who arrive at Christmas or on a long Sunday. That shift matters in flats and open-plan kitchens where floor space is finite: you live with the smaller footprint most weeks and borrow the larger one only when you need it. The natural finish keeps the silhouette light in both states.

Explore the Oak Veneer and Its Certified Origin

Oak veneer in a natural finish covers the top, so the grain reads clearly across the whole surface rather than breaking at every join. Veneer also behaves well on a table that moves: the sheet is bonded to a stable core, which limits the seasonal swelling and shrinking that can make a solid extending top stiff to operate. Wipe spills promptly, use mats under hot dishes, and the surface will keep its even tone through years of daily meals.

The wood carries FSC 100% chain-of-custody certification and comes from a responsible forest management model, meaning the timber is traceable from the forest through every stage of processing. The piece was designed by the Kave Home team and is available in other sizes, so a larger or smaller version can be specified if your room asks for it. Pair it with lightweight chairs that tuck fully underneath; the round edge is forgiving in a narrow room, and nothing blocks the extension when you open it.
