Sunday Times Style: the Extra Terrasse balcony table makes its debut in the British press
This is one of those publications that leave their mark. The Sunday Times Style, the lifestyle and trends supplement of the Sunday Times, one of the most widely read newspapers in the UK, selected the Balconie in its iconic "Going Up" section alongside the major 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 yet effective, and frankly, it touches us.
A balcony table spotted internationally
Since its creation, the Balconie has been designed to address a very practical problem: how to enjoy your balcony when you don't have space for a classic outdoor table? The answer is simple: attach the table to the balcony railing, without drilling, screws, or DIY.
What distinguishes the Balconie from traditional balcony furniture is its attachment to the railing. It adapts to almost all balustrades, round tubes, square tubes, wrought iron or steel railings. For a small balcony, it's a small revolution.
What exactly is Sunday Times Style?
The Sunday Times Style is the fashion and culture supplement of the Sunday Times, founded in 1821 and with a circulation of over a million copies each week. Its Style supplement is a benchmark in the English-speaking world for design, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle trends. Being featured in the "Going Up" section, reserved for up-and-coming objects, personalities, and trends, is a rare editorial validation for a French urban furniture brand.
Extra Terrasse thus joins trends such as "casual overload" in clothing in this section. Good company.
A balcony furniture that travels well
This British publication is part of a broader movement. In recent years, Extra Terrasse has been featured in ZEIT Magazin in Germany, in Vieilles Maisons Françaises, in The Good Life, and has received several major French awards: the Prix Pépite France 2024, the Innovation Award at Jardins Jardin, and the French Design FD100 label awarded by the Ministry of Culture.
But being mentioned in the mainstream British lifestyle press is a different step. It confirms that the idea of a small balcony table that clips onto the railing resonates far beyond French borders - and that the need to intelligently furnish urban outdoor spaces is universal.
Thanks to Sunday Times Style
We didn't expect this spotlight. And maybe that's why it's particularly pleasing. When a century-old British newspaper, whose fashion supplement is read by millions of people, spots a small balcony table made in Saint-Etienne and simply calls it "genius"... it makes you think we did well not to give up.
To all those looking for a stylish, compact, sturdy balcony table made in France: the Balconie awaits you.
