Price History
Description
Designed in 1953 by Marcel Gascoin, the S-Table is part of a unified collection that includes the B-Table, C-Chair and Trèfle Stool. With its simple tapered legs, sturdy frame and space-efficient rectangular tabletop - which extends up to a metre, adding an extra two place settings - the table can seat up to ten. The entire table, even the extending mechanism, is made from solid and veneered oak or walnut.
Our Stylist Says
The Gubi S-Table Extendable is a fantastic piece that blends function with minimalist style. I love its clean lines and the warm, natural tones of the American Walnut, making it versatile across modern, Scandinavian, or even mid-century interiors. Its extendable feature is perfect for those who often entertain, providing practicality without compromising on aesthetics. For styling, pair it with simple, elegant chairs and layered textures like soft textiles or matte ceramics to create a balanced, inviting dining space. It works particularly well in open-plan areas or as a statement piece in a more understated room, offering flexibility and timeless appeal.

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.
