Adjustable Café de Lyon table
The Café de Lyon isn't just another height-adjustable table: its cast iron base, inspired by a genuine IPN beam, gives it a clearly industrial look. The solid wood top sitting on top softens the whole without ever weighing it down.
It changes role depending on the time of day. A dining table in the evening, it becomes a standing desk during the day, or a high table for drinks with friends. One table, several uses: that's the whole point of a well-designed adjustable-height table. If the cast iron and IPN look isn't quite what you're after, the Hupe adjustable table offers a cleaner take on the adjustable leg.
Each leg carries the letters CDL, welded straight into the cast iron — Café de Lyon, spelled out in full. The solid central pillar takes its cue directly from the IPN beams used in industrial settings, for a raw, deliberate look.
The crank adjusts the height from 76 to 103 cm, with no effort. The ratchet shaft is greased in our workshop before shipping, for smooth adjustment from day one, whether you use it daily or now and then.
The top is chosen independently of the leg, from a selection of solid wood built to last:
The top ranges from 160 to 300 cm, fitting anything from an intimate meal to a large gathering. Size is a personal call: it's worth going larger if the table will also double as a desk or occasional work surface.
Need more length later on? Our extension system adds to it without compromising the table's stability or seating comfort.
Straight edges give a clean, fairly contemporary line that pairs well with the raw character of the cast iron base.
Natural edges keep the original outline of the trunk, sapwood included. Each top becomes a piece of its own, with its own irregularities.
Two options for the tabletop finish:
Delivery available across France and internationally, through partners specialized in furniture transport. You can also pick up your table directly from our workshop in Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu, near Lyon.
Every Café de Lyon adjustable table starts with a conversation, at the workshop or by video call, to understand how you'll actually use it: dining table, desk, or both depending on the time of day.
From there, we work through the top, the wood species, the edges, and the finish together, to land on a table that's genuinely yours. Production takes 2 to 4 weeks on average.
They match perfectly

Nous sommes ravis de notre achat et de la livraison de notre table sur mesure ! Tout a pu se faire à distance - nous aurions adoré voir l'atelier en personne mais habitant à Paris ce n'était pas simple... Vincent et son équipe sont des passionnés et cela se ressent !

Nous sommes enchantés de notre table (diamètre 110 cm). Établissement très sérieux de la confection à la livraison, à recommander sans hésitation.Publié sur Google Break Viss02/04/2025Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. We came all the way from Paris and found our dream table with the help of Vincent. He was incredibly patient during our visit, pulled out table after table for us to explore, until we found the right one with the right legs. In the end we chose a beautiful table made of wood over 100 years old; it's a piece that oozes history and that has texture and character that you will not find if you buy "off the rack" in some overpriced designer store. The price was extremely competitive compared to what you find in stores in Paris, if you were to be able to find something like this in the first place. I highly recommend VitaDeco to anyone considering buying a custom table in France!Publié sur Google Tis 5528/03/2025Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google.

Je recommande vivement cette entreprise.Publié sur Google Clément I13/12/2024Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google.
