Description
The Dulwich Table is an elegant and bold extending table that echoes great detail and proportions. Designed by award winning designer Matthew Hilton, it is a fine example of how design meets functionality creating a very modern table setting option. This table is slender in its overall look and appearance adding a touch of design excellence to your room. The clean lines boasts a distinctive piece of furniture that will give your home a striking factor.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Dulwich extending table in wenge because its clean lines and rich finish slip seamlessly into both contemporary and mid-century inspired spaces. The smooth extension mechanism is genuinely practical for family dinners or impromptu dinner parties, and the dark timber adds a warm, grounded feel without overwhelming a scheme. For styling, balance the table’s depth with lighter chairs in oak or pale upholstery, then layer in a slim runner or a cluster of low-profile ceramics to keep sightlines clear. In an open-plan living area, position it under a simple pendant light and flank it with indoor plants to soften the overall look.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
