A coffee table that converts into a six-seater dining table in seconds! This is a truly classic design which has been crafted using traditional furniture techniques, evidenced by finger joints on the connecting frame and the carefully matched grain patterns of the table tops.
The table opens up into 4 positions, a square or rectangle coffee table, then changing height to a create a dining table for two that can be extended to seat six. Perfect for modern living and for those smaller spaces to give you flexibility.
Follow our stories to see a funny clip of this table being featured on the Generation Game! Lee, who originally designed this table, keeps composed whilst contestants mess up the conversion!

As the seasons change to cooler days and longer nights, our attention now turns to spending more time inside and creating warm cosy corners in our homes. Adding layers of lighting will bring warmth and add softness to quiet corners, helping to define your living spaces.
These lampshades are perfect way to add interest through texture and print. Albert celebrates the ancient art of hand block printing to create his beautiful nature inspired prints on 100% heavy linen fabric. Add a shade to a floor lamp or table lamps on side tables and sideboards to create pockets of warm light which you can nestle under in your favourite armchair for the evening.
Get cosy, keep lighting levels low by switching off overhead lights and flicking on the lamps!

The colours, texture and grain of wood generate warmth, comfort, and relaxation by connecting us with nature. Studies have shown that along with the naturally hypoallergenic qualities of wood, living in home environments using wood lowers stress levels and improves our well-being.
At Derwent house we celebrate great tradition of British craftsmanship and showcase furniture makers that have been selected for their excellence in design whilst demonstrating the skills and respect for the sustainability of the woods and materials used. The result is an exciting curation of wood pieces that are meaningfully designed to last and become the heritage pieces of the future.
Come and see these quality of craftsmanship in person in our showroom and the attention to detail that is applied to finish these truly beautiful pieces for the home.
