French term or phrase: retombé au plancher
This is a web site for a kitchen design company. One option is described as follows:

Îlot composé de deux comptoirs : du stratifié pour le comptoir-lunch et du quartz pour l'espace de travail avec ***retombé au plancher***.

(I'm not sure whether the word is "retombé" or "retombée" but in the text it appears as "retombé".)

waterfall counter


Explanation:
It could be a waterfall counter, or a waterfall island in the case of a free standing kitchen island. Also referred to as a "riser", but this seems rare.

Example sentence(s):
  • "It isn’t quite as easy to bang your hip into a waterfall counter as one where the edge juts out on its own."

neutral  Simon BOURN (X): Not sure, as "retombée au plancher" does not imply an accessory with moveable parts. It's a permanent fixture.
