Finnley Scalable Long dining Table: A Fusion of Old Times and Life

1.Tabletop Design: Replicating the Texture of Years

• 
  

  Material:

  Selected dark gray distressed solid wood, repeatedly polished by hand, presenting a Mild and gentle texture as if caressed by time.

  
  

• 
  

  Texture:

  With natural wood grain undulations, you can see the growth texture of the wood over the years at a close look, hiding natural stories.

  
  

• 
  

  Edge Craftsmanship:

  Carved by hand with a 0.3mm fine chisel, the lines are evenly spaced with a depth of about 1mm, taking 3 hours per meter, replicating the decorative patterns of European 18th-century manor long tables.

  
  

2. Table Leg Structure: Symbiosis of Classic and Durable

• 
  

  Material Selection:

  Adopting old elm wood with a tree age of over 50 years, naturally dried for 3 years, joined by mortise and tenon craftsmanship.

  
  

• 
  

  Distressing Treatment:

  Retaining the natural knots and wormholes of the wood, using 60-grit coarse sand to create wear marks, and 120-grit fine sand to trim the edges, making the color transition natural.

  
  

• 
  

  Carving Details:

  The column body draws on the simplified version of Renaissance reliefs, presenting geometric lines with 1cm shallow reliefs, suitable for modern aesthetics.

  
  

• 
  

  Reinforcement Design:

  A 8mm diameter steel reinforcing strip is hidden inside the crossbar, covered with old elm veneer, taking into account both symmetrical beauty and structural stability.

  
  

3. Extending Structure: Ingenuity in Space Adaptation

• 
  

  Track Configuration:

  Double-track linkage design, hidden on both sides under the tabletop, made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy, anti-corrosion treated by anodization.

  
  

• 
  

  Size Switching:

  1.6m×0.9m in daily state (suitable for 2-4 people); after pulling the handle, it expands to 2.4m×0.9m (accommodating 8-10 people) through 2-section foldable extension boards (each section 0.4m).

  
  

• 
  

  Splicing Precision:

  The extension board is attached to theoriginal tabletop through magnetic splicing strips, both made of distressed old elm wood, with a color difference of △E < 2, and the splicing part is almost invisible.

  
  

4. Craft Details: Solid Guarantee for Experience

• 
  

  Durability Test:

  The extending system has undergone 100,000 opening and closing tests, simulating the 10-year usage frequency of a family to ensure long-term stability.

  
  

• 
  

  Easy Operation:

  The pulling resistance is controlled at 5-8N (about the weight of a bottle of mineral water), which can be easily operated by the elderly and children.

  
  

• 
  

  Buffer Protection:

  Silicone buffer pads are set at the end of the track to mute when closing and avoid damage from hard impact.

  
  

• 
  

  Leveling Function:

  Adjustable supporting feet are installed at the bottom of the extension board, with a height adjustment range of 0-1.5cm, ensuring the tabletop is always level.

  
  

5. Space Adaptation: Art of Style Integration

(1) Adaptation to Retro Spaces

• 
  

  Material Echo:

  Old elm wood resonates with carved wall panels and leather retro sofas in texture, neutralizing the complexity of European furniture.

  
  

• 
  

  Matching Effect:

  When paired with floral fabric dining chairs, the geometric carvings on the column body form a "simplicity and complexity contrast" with the fabric patterns, becoming a visual anchor.

  
  

• 
  

  Practical Value:

  In a 15-20㎡ retro living room, it increases space utilization by 30%, and there is no need to add extra temporary dining tables for gatherings.

  
  

(2) Adjustment for Modern Spaces

• 
  

  Style Contrast:

  The dark gray matte tabletop forms a "cold and warm contrast" with cement floors and white cabinets, and the old elm wood texture injects natural atmosphere into the monotonous space.

  
  

  
  

• 
  

  Line Echo:

  The geometric carvings on the column body form an "isomorphic Heterogeneous" echo with the straight lines of modern furniture, achieving harmony and unity.

  
  

  
  

• 
  

  Functional Advantage:

  Matching with Nordic fabric chairs can increase the retro atmosphere by 40%, and at the same time solve the storage pain points of modern family gatherings.

  
  

6. Life Bearing: A Long-lasting Container for Memories

• 
  

  Safety Guarantee:

  Using food-grade wood wax oil (containing natural beeswax and linseed oil), no formaldehyde release, protecting family health.

  
  

• 
  

  Durable Performance:

  Resistant to high temperature of 80℃, soup can be wiped clean within 3 minutes to avoid damaging the wood.

  
  

• 
  

  Memory Retention:

  Records moments such as children's first independent dining and parents' golden wedding banquets. The usage traces penetrate to form "patina" through wood wax oil, allowing memories to grow together with the wood.

  
  

• 
  

  Inheritance Attribute:

  Tested to withstand daily wear and tear for more than 50 years, becoming a physical carrier of family memories and passing on intergenerational warmth.
