Matthew Hilton One of Britain’s most highly respected industrial designers, Matthew Hilton has three decades of experience designing for a broad range of high profile manufacturers. In 2007, he started his own brand, Matthew Hilton Ltd, as a place he could have complete creative control. Working primarily in solid wood - American black walnut and American white oak - Hilton pushes the boundaries of the material, creating sculptural designs with an elegant simplicity that belies the complex engineering. He has received numerous awards throughout his career including being named a Royal Designer for Industry in 2005 and Designer of the Year at the British Design Awards in 2008. ‘Hilton has a genius for contemporary wooden design [approaching] his designs as much as a sculptor as a furniture designer’, Financial Times How To Spend It.

Light Extending Table Interested in the idea of “impossible lightness”, Matthew Hilton finds ingenious ways of working with wood to achieve his desired form. The Light Extending Table has a tabletop made from engineered solid wood: an advanced material that harnesses the beauty, strength and durability of solid wood, while increasing the design possibilities when used as a planar material. This innovative dining table extends with ease and elegance, offering three possible lengths. Set upon sculptural legs, the tabletop opens effortlessly and cradles the two leaves in a fabric-lined compartment when not in use. Also available as a fixed dining table in three lengths.
