The mechanism
The leaves live inside.
No leaves to store. No assembly. A glide of black steel, an unfolding of red oak — the table changes scale in a single motion.
Live demonstration
Anatomy
Four beats. One motion.
-
01
The storage
The butterfly leaves live inside the table’s base, ready to emerge.
-
02
The glide
A black steel slide guides the motion. Silent. Controlled.
-
03
The unfolding
The wood extends. Surfaces meet to the millimeter.
-
04
The close
A continuation of the same single motion.
Why it matters
An extension without a closet.
A traditional leaf needs a closet, a gathering of helpers, an effort. This mechanism replaces all of that with one motion.

- Can the table sit partly open?
- Yes — at any intermediate position of the slide.
- Does the mechanism need maintenance?

- What’s the warranty on the mechanism?
- Bermex one-year on furniture, ten years on chair frames.
