Furniture and interior e-commerce company Tansu no Gen has released a new Round Extendable Dining Table, designed to expand from a circle to an oval depending on the number of people and the occasion.
The table is used day to day as a 120cm-diameter circle, then extends to a 160cm-wide oval when guests come over. A stone-look ceramic tabletop is paired with wood-grain legs, combining the functionality of ceramic with a design that fits easily into everyday dining spaces.
An Extendable Table That Grows From Round to Oval to Match the Scene
The Round Extendable Dining Table normally sits as a 120cm-diameter circle and expands to a 160cm-wide oval whenever more space is needed. It works as a circular table for everyday meals, and when relatives or friends gather, the tabletop can be extended to create extra room for dishes and food.
The extension leaf stores away underneath the tabletop when not in use, so there's no need to keep it stashed somewhere else. The table's width can be adjusted to fit the number of people and the occasion, working equally well for everyday life and for hosting.
A Design That Pairs Stone-Look Ceramic With Wood Grain
The tabletop uses a stone-look ceramic with an upscale feel, while the legs use "sliced veneer" — a thin layer of natural wood — for the texture and grain of real wood.
Pairing ceramic's hard-edged impression with the warmth of natural wood results in a design that feels modern while still fitting comfortably into a dining space.
The legs use a single, cone-shaped center leg. Its curved form echoes the roundness of the tabletop, giving the table a cohesive look that reads differently depending on the viewing angle. With no legs at the corners, chairs are also easy to arrange whether the table is in its circular or extended oval form.
A Ceramic Tabletop Resistant to Scratches, Heat, and Stains
The tabletop, used for meals every day, is made from durable ceramic. Its high hardness makes it resistant to scratches, so it's easier to keep looking clean even through the daily routine of setting down and moving dishware.
The material is also heat-resistant, so warm dishes or a mug of hot coffee can be set directly on the table. Because liquids and stains don't easily soak in, spilled drinks or food wipe away quickly, keeping daily cleanup simple.
With this high resistance to scratches, heat, and stains, the table holds up to daily meals and the many everyday moments when family gathers, staying clean-looking over the long term.
Three Colors to Match Any Space
The Round Extendable Dining Table comes in three colorways: Stone Black x Brown, Stone Gray x Natural, and Stone Beige x Beige.
From a substantial-feeling combination to a color that highlights wood texture to a single-tone shade that brightens a room, the options range widely enough to suit whichever mood or preference fits the space. Pairing different stone-look tabletop and leg colors gives each version its own impression, so the table can work in dining spaces ranging from modern to natural.
Comments From the Development Team
Background and Story
Ceramic tables are popular for their resistance to scratches, heat, and stains, plus their upscale design, but the material can also come across as hard-edged. The aim was to keep ceramic's appeal while making a table that fits more easily into daily life, so warmth from wood was brought into the design.
Wooden dining tables that extend from a compact circle to fit more people are already popular, and bringing that same idea to a ceramic table was meant to create a piece that offers not just design and functionality, but also the flexibility to adapt as daily life changes.
A Message to Customers
The goal was a dining table that works well-sized day to day, and roomier when people gather.
For everyday meals, it offers the sense of closeness that comes with a circular table; when family or friends come together, the tabletop extends for a more spacious table setting. The hope is that it becomes a piece that adapts alongside changes in lifestyle and the number of people at the table, and stays in use for years to come.
