Versatile settings for the classic pairing of chairs and tables

They are the workhorses of the furniture family; they serve a meal, offer a seat, are called to duty for a quick nap, and often double up as storage solutions. They mostly come as a pair which dominates in some rooms and sticks to a corner in others. They are called different names depending on their size, shape and style and can be dressed up in varied colours and textures. Here are six arrangements of chairs and tables you can bring home this season.
