Cliff Extendable Dining Table

Design

The Cliff Extendable Dining Table brings a clear, confident line to the room and then surprises with a quiet flourish. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it sits within the Cliff Deco collection and shows exactly why their work is so widely admired. The top reads sleek and composed, while the signature braided element below adds a tactile counterpoint—graphic yet restrained. Nothing shouts. Everything aligns.

When the occasion calls for more, the top draws out in a smooth, measured motion. Closed, it spans about 94.5 inches in length; extended, it reaches approximately 118.1 inches, with a consistent width of about 39.4 inches. The extension doesn’t change the character of the table. It simply lengthens the conversation, keeping the profile clean and the stance balanced.

Materials & Build

Every line and joint feels purposeful. The gliding mechanism is engineered for a steady, reassuring slide—no rattling, no fuss—so the table moves as one piece rather than a set of parts. The braided detail is more than decoration; it’s a defining structural and visual signature that brings depth to the silhouette. The texture reads subtle from a distance and beautifully intricate up close.

Durability wasn’t treated as an afterthought. Contact points are designed to stay true with repeated use, and surfaces are selected to handle the rhythms of daily dining as well as the pace of larger gatherings. Over time, that matters. The table holds its line, keeps its alignment, and continues to open and close with the same calm precision.

Comfort

Comfort here is about space, movement, and ease. At roughly 39.4 inches wide, the tabletop offers generous room for place settings, serving pieces, and the small gestures that make a meal feel unhurried. Elbows have breathing room. So do centerpieces. With seating for eight in its standard configuration and up to twelve when extended, guests settle in without crowding the edges.

Edges feel considered, the stance is steady, and the extension is simple enough to operate right before guests arrive. There’s no awkward reach or complicated choreography—just a composed slide that quickly finds its stop. It’s hospitality built into the mechanics.

Placement & Lifestyle

This table sits comfortably in a range of interiors—from a tailored dining room to a more open, multifunctional space. It reads modern without feeling severe, and the braided element sets a refined tone that plays well with upholstered chairs or lighter, sculpted seating. The look is versatile: pair it with soft textures for warmth or crisp finishes for a sharper mood.

Weeknight meals feel considered, and larger celebrations gain a proper stage. The Cliff Extendable Dining Table from Talenti doesn’t dominate the room; it anchors it, giving serveware, glassware, and conversation a clear place to land. And when plans change—as they do—the extension answers without ceremony.

Longevity

Good design is measured in years, not months. The Cliff Deco expression favors elements that age well: a stable structure, a reliable mechanism, and details that keep their composure. The braided signature stays neat and true, maintaining the table’s distinct identity. Surfaces are chosen to resist everyday wear, so the finish holds its poise with simple care.

Open and close it often or just on occasion; either way, the movement remains consistent. The lines stay aligned, the profile stays dignified, and the presence stays assured. Over time, that quiet reliability becomes part of the ritual—the table doing exactly what it was made to do, meal after meal.
