Lucarelli Dining Table

Sale Price: $2,511.00 Original Price: $3,138.00

Overview

The Lucarelli dining table makes a bold statement with its minimalist, modern design. Its pedestal metal base, defined by clean lines, creates a visually open and airy feel, allowing for more seating without interfering with table legs. Designed with convenience in mind, the tabletop features a seamless butterfly extension, effortlessly operated by one person to accommodate more guests. A perfect fusion of refined style and practical functionality.

What Makes the Lucarelli Unique: Pedestal Base + Butterfly Self-Storage Leaf

The Lucarelli has two defining features that distinguish it from every table reviewed so far in this series:

1. A pedestal metal base. Unlike the four-leg trestle design of the Link table or the multi-faceted conical pedestals of the Gemma, the Lucarelli has a single or double pedestal metal base defined by clean lines—a visually open and airy construction that allows for more seating without interfering with table legs. The absence of corner legs means all four sides of the table are equally accessible and equally comfortable for seating—no one has to straddle a corner leg. This is the same pedestal-base advantage noted on the Gemma, but the Lucarelli's clean-line minimalist aesthetic makes the base disappear visually rather than drawing attention to itself the way the Gemma's faceted cones do.

2. A butterfly self-storage extension leaf. The Lucarelli is the first extendable table reviewed in this series. It features a 24" butterfly leaf that can be deployed or stored by a single person in a matter of seconds without any effort. The butterfly mechanism—where the leaf folds inside the table and deploys from the center by sliding the two halves of the top apart—requires no separate storage of the leaf and no second person to manage it. The ball bearing mechanism has been successfully tested on over 7,000 cycles, which represents installing and removing the leaf every day for 10 years

Design Aesthetic

The Lucarelli is a study in purposeful minimalism. The pedestal base defined by clean lines is not decorative minimalism but functional minimalism—every design decision serves the goal of creating the most unobtrusive, space-efficient, seating-friendly dining table possible. The visual result is a table that reads as light and contemporary, suited to modern, mid-century, transitional, and Scandinavian-influenced dining spaces.

It also pairs directly with the Clarissa chair reviewed earlier in this series, specifically naming the Lucarelli table as the collection pairing for the Clarissa armchair, making the Lucarelli + Clarissa combination a fully coordinated mid-century modern dining set.

Dimensions & Seating

The Lucarelli is available in three base sizes (52630, 52631, 52632), corresponding to different table lengths. Based on the Amisco catalog filter tagging, the Lucarelli base variants seat 6 to 8 people in their extended configurations. The standard (non-extended) top with a 24" butterfly leaf follows dimensions consistent with other Amisco butterfly-leaf tables—approximately 38"W × 54"–60"L closed, extending to 78"–84"L with the 24" leaf deployed. The table stands at a standard dining height of 30".

Choosing the right size: For a family of 4–6, the smaller base (52630) seated without the leaf is typically sufficient. Deploying the 24" butterfly leaf adds seating for 2 additional guests, bringing the Lucarelli's seated capacity from 4–6 to 6–8 depending on the base size selected.
