Sunday Times Style: The Extra Terrasse balcony table makes its debut in the British press
It’s one of those publications that leave a mark. Sunday Times Style, the lifestyle and trends supplement of the Sunday Times—one of the most widely read newspapers in the UK—has featured the Balconie in its iconic "Going Up" column, alongside the top fashion, design, and lifestyle trends of the moment.
The mention is simple, direct, and says it all: "These ones from Extra Terrasse clip on to your balcony railings. Genius."
Understated but effective, and honestly, it really touches us.
A balcony table spotted internationally
Since its creation, the Balconie has been designed to solve a very concrete problem: how to enjoy your balcony when you don't have space for a classic outdoor table? The answer is achieved in one simple motion: attach the table to the balcony railing, with no drilling, no screws, and no DIY required.
What sets the Balconie apart from traditional balcony furniture is how it attaches to the railing. It adapts to almost any balustrade—round tubes, square tubes, or wrought iron and steel railings. For a small balcony, it’s a small revolution.
What exactly is Sunday Times Style?
Sunday Times Style is the fashion and culture supplement of the Sunday Times, which was founded in 1821 and has a weekly circulation of over one million copies. Its Style supplement is a benchmark in the English-speaking world for trends in design, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. Being featured in the "Going Up" column—reserved for the most up-and-coming objects, personalities, and trends—is a rare editorial validation for a French urban furniture brand.
Extra Terrasse joins the ranks of trends like the "casual overload" look. Good company to be in.
Balcony furniture that travels well
This British feature is part of a broader movement. In recent years, Extra Terrasse has been highlighted in Germany's ZEIT Magazin, in Vieilles Maisons Françaises, in The Good Life, and has received several major French distinctions: the 2024 Prix Pépite France, the Innovation Prize at Jardins Jardin, and the French Design FD100 label awarded by the Ministry of Culture.
However, being featured in the mainstream British lifestyle press is a different milestone. It confirms that the idea of a small balcony table that clips onto a railing resonates far beyond French borders—and that the need to intelligently furnish urban outdoor spaces is universal.
Thanks to Sunday Times Style
We weren't expecting this spotlight, which perhaps makes it all the more gratifying. When a century-old British newspaper, whose fashion supplement is read by millions, spots a small balcony table and simply calls it "genius"... we know we were right to stick with it.
For anyone looking for a designer, compact, sturdy balcony table made in France: the Balconie is waiting for you.
