Coby lamp from Laura Ashley

Bridge table designed by Matthew Hilton from Heal’s
The Matthew Hilton-designed Bridge table is another great design from the Heal's Scandinavian season.
Just a look at the table reveals its mid-century inspired influences, with its elegant tapering legs, and oak or walnut veneer finish. There's a practical twist to this design too: it's able to extend in size. Available in two sizes, the smaller table extends from 110cm up to 160cm, while the larger table is 260cm when extended.
While the table is able to grow or shrink in size, there's no escaping the price you'll be paying for this classic design: the smaller table costs £1095, while the larger version costs £1595.
