The idea for the PicNik table originated from Dirk Wynants, who had been searching a solution for small-sized terraces in urban environments.

Designer Xavier Lust can boast on several innovative designs in curved aluminium. Thanks to the technique he developed to fold aluminium and his experience in this material, the realisation of the PicNik became possible.

Their collaboration has led to the birth of the PicNik table, a contemporary multiple award winning piece of furniture Extremis is very proud of.
