Description
The Alpha Extending Dining Table by Calligaris is a versatile product that caters to the variables of a lively home. The ceramic top is designed to be durable and scratch-resistant to ensure longevity, whilst supplying plenty of elegance. The wooden legs offer a striking contrast to the bright top and are slightly tapered for a modern look. Alpha features an effortless extending-top mechanism, mounted on a gliding frame to create more space when dining with guests!
Our Stylist Says
The Calligaris Alpha extends well for those who host dinners or entertain often, thanks to its practical extension feature. I love its clean, contemporary look, where the white top offers a fresh, versatile vibe that suits both modern and minimalist interiors. It works particularly well in light-filled kitchens or open-plan living spaces, but the black legs add a subtle contrast that grounds the design. For styling, pair it with sleek, functional chairs in neutral tones or a pop of colour for visual interest. Keep accessories minimal to highlight the table’s simplicity, or layer with a statement centrepiece to add personality without clutter. This piece effortlessly blends practicality with style, making it a smart choice for contemporary homes.

About Barker and Stonehouse
A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
