Manille by Extremis, designed by Dirk Wynants

Extremis unveils Manille, a revolutionary take on the traditional picnic table that brilliantly fuses functionality, modularity, and inclusive design. Named after the strategic card game, Manille embodies smart moves and maximizing options, transforming outdoor social spaces with unprecedented flexibility and flair. At its core, Manille is a triumph of modular design. Unlike cumbersome, singular, large tables, Manille comprises individual units that seamlessly connect, allowing for an “endless table” configuration.

This innovative approach solves the perennial challenge of transporting large furniture; an extensive setup of multiple Manille tables can astonishingly fit on a single pallet, drastically reducing logistical complexities and environmental footprint. This ease of transport makes Manille the perfect solution for events, hospitality venues, or dynamic public spaces requiring adaptable seating. Manille is meticulously designed for inclusion and comfort. Its unique table-seat formation comfortably accommodates up to four people per unit, while the ingenious design reserves the head of the table for wheelchair users, ensuring accessibility for all to join the conversation.

The fixed benches feature a slight incline and backrests, offering exceptional seating comfort and a beautifully uncluttered aesthetic. Further enhancing its versatility is an intuitive, optional shade system. Users can create an intimate cocoon by deploying a removable canvas shade or opt for a fixed solution that provides permanent shelter. This adaptability ensures that Manille fosters connection and comfort in varying weather conditions. Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, such as Hellwood or Iroko hardwood tabletops, galvanized steel frames, and powder-coated stainless steel legs, Manille is built to last, embodying Extremis’ commitment to longevity and responsible design.
