The dining table revolution

A sleek, modern room with a wooden dining table featuring cylindrical legs, a black chair, a patterned chair, and a small vase with branches. Three wall-mounted round lights cast a gentle glow on the beige wall, creating an ambiance that's nothing short of revolutionary.

Playing with table setting styling is fun and a great way to get creative. But swapping between endless tablecloths and decorative ornaments requires a lot of storage space and can be cluttering (both visually and logistically). Therefore if you love decorative style, but prefer a low maintenance approach, this new wave dining table trend is for you.

What is the concept?

“The table is the decoration”

What does this mean?

Stripping away the tablecloths and extravagant table settings, the structural table itself is left as the star of the show. 
A considered selection of materiality, finishes and form can transform a standard dining table into a sculptural piece of art. Investing in beautiful materials and creative handmade designs elevate the table to a main character in the space – it is such a key part of the room, so why not give it a little limelight.

Having the table as a main character within the space makes a lot of sense. Dining tables are often large, bulky items which demand a lot of space. They are used multiple times a day, are often the epicentre of a social gathering and usually double up as office space or worktops… so they deserve a little attention.

The design choices are endless, and there are styles to suit all tastes and existing interior design schemes. A rule of thumb when employing this strategy is: look for two striking features. For instance contrasting colours, unexpected materiality pairing, or sculptural leg design.
