Description
The ALPHA extendable table is perfectly attuned to the idea of smart, elegant and versatile products that cater to all the normal variables of a lively home and make daily life simpler and more enjoyable. Its design is versatile thanks to the combination of wooden legs and the choice between multiple ceramic tops. Moreover, the slightly tapered multi-faceted outer legs ensure the utmost comfort for guests seated at the table. The extensions are mounted on a frame with guided opening movement.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Calligaris Alpha 180-240cm extending table for its clean, versatile design and practical flexibility. Its simple, contemporary aesthetic makes it suitable for modern and minimalist interiors, but it also works well in more eclectic or industrial spaces when paired with the right accessories. The extendable feature is perfect for entertaining - you can keep it sleek for everyday use and easily accommodate larger gatherings. Styling tips include pairing it with mixed materials like wood and metal for an urban look, or layering with textured tableware and statement lighting to add warmth and interest. It’s a functional piece that offers both style and adaptability without ever feeling bulky or overpowering.

About Arighi Bianchi
Founded in 1854 by Italian craftsmen Antonio Arighi and Antonio Bianchi, Arighi Bianchi is one of the UK's oldest and most established furniture and interiors retailers. What began as a small workshop producing clocks and cabinets in Macclesfield has evolved over more than 170 years into a destination for premium home furnishings, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.
At the heart of the brand is its iconic four-storey showroom in Macclesfield - a Grade II* listed building inspired by the Crystal Palace - which has become a destination for interior enthusiasts across the UK. Over generations, the family-run business has built a reputation for quality, even supplying furniture to British royalty in its early years.
Today, Arighi Bianchi offers far more than furniture. Its collections span sofas, dining furniture, beds, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings and accessories, alongside carefully selected brands such as Vispring, Ercol and Stressless. This curated, multi-brand approach allows customers to create cohesive interiors that blend timeless elegance with contemporary style.
In recent years, Arighi Bianchi has evolved beyond traditional retail into a broader lifestyle experience - incorporating in-store design inspiration, curated accessory spaces and even a café to create a more immersive shopping environment. This shift reflects a modern focus on experiential retail, appealing to a new generation of homeowners while staying true to its heritage.
Still run by the founding family five generations on, Arighi Bianchi continues to balance tradition with innovation. Its long history, commitment to quality and carefully curated product range make it a trusted destination for those looking to invest in furniture and homeware designed to last.
