Dining Tables

Dining Tables

A dining table is decided by two things people usually check last: where the legs are, and what the underside will allow. Both determine how many people actually sit down.

Where the legs are

A table with legs at the corners fixes every place setting. A pedestal or panel-end table does not: Papillon on two curved pedestals under a 240 cm top, Serenity on two shaped columns, Prisma with panel ends tied by slim metal crossbars, Lola on a brass-edged cross base, Ordinate on two pedestals cut through with an open lattice, Topaz on double pedestals braced with bronze-tone rods. On all of these the perimeter stays clear, so chairs go anywhere along the length — and an extra guest is a matter of moving two chairs rather than buying a different table.

The underside, and armed chairs

Before choosing chairs, measure from the floor to the underside of the top and compare it with the arm height of the chair you want. A deep apron or a wide pedestal foot is what stops a chair short of the table, and it cannot be fixed afterwards. Our pedestal tables have no apron at all, which is the reason an armed chair works under them.

Lengths and widths

Topaz at 263 cm is our longest, with ten places; Lola, T-Table and Ordinate run to 260 cm, Mushroom to 255, Papillon and Serenity to 240. Width matters as much as length: Lavor is drawn at 105 cm for rooms where the usual 110 is too much — five centimetres of walkway on each side is often what decides whether a dining room works.

Materials

Solid wood and veneer in walnut, oak and anigre, from our Sitwood line, hand-finished so the grain runs continuously across the top. Marble on Stafero, over an open welded steel base. Metal appears as flush-inlaid chrome on Orbit, as bronze-tone bracing on Topaz, as crossbars on Prisma, and as a hand-stitched leather wrap on the conical base of Milano, which can be matched to your dining chairs. Myra is made entirely to your measurements.

How ordering works

Send the clear room dimensions, the number of places you need and the chair you are considering. Wood pieces are typically ready in six to eight weeks; the exact lead time depends on the scope of the project. Made in our Istanbul workshop.
