Description
An inviting design that shifts shape to suit the occasion, the Bridge Extending Dining Table is a contemporary and functional piece by innovative British designer Matthew Hilton. Renowned for his evolving approach to design, Matthew Hilton specialises in producing original furniture that develops classic 20th century motifs and with its swift, organic lines, this Scandinavian influenced table is no exception.
Our Stylist Says
I love this table for its clean, Scandinavian-inspired design that balances simplicity with craftsmanship. Its light oak finish makes it a versatile piece that works well in a range of interiors, from modern minimal spaces to cosy, traditional settings. A practical tip is to keep the surrounding decor understated-think neutral tones or soft textures-so the table remains a focal point during gatherings. In smaller dining areas, the extending feature is a smart addition, allowing for flexibility without overcrowding the room when not in use. Pair it with streamlined chairs or even a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces for a stylish, functional dining zone.

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.
