FOUR STUNNING DINING TABLES THAT ARE A FEAST FOR THE EYES
↑ BRADY DINING
Designed for Minoti, the pared-back and rational geometry of Rodolfo Dordoni’s Brady dining table puts the emphasis on the richly veined marble top (variants include Grigio Orobico, Calacata, Marron Damasco and Nero Marquina), which is placed within a lenticular-shaped frame (in mate Moka scratchproof lacquer), similar to a precious jewel within a ring seting. Combined with the he ty yet handsome metal cylindrical base with decorative ferrule
(in satin finish bronze or mate Moka), Brady makes an undeniably striking impression.
KEYHOLE COMMUNAL TABLE
San Francisco design–build firm Fyrn showcases its woodworking and cra t expertise with the Keyhole collection of tables and benches by revealing rather than concealing the structural supports. Employing its own Stemn system (a proprietary fabrication process that allows legs, joints, arms and seats to be easily replaced when necessary), the apron-less trestle-style tables feature visible metal brackets along their solid wood surface and exposed leg connectors, giving them a unique character. A range of North American solid hardwoods in natural oak, oxidized oak or black walnut finishes is available, and the anodized aluminum hardware can be specified in copper bronze or graphite. ↑ PALATINE DINING TABLE
With his Palatine collection for Roche Bobois, French designer Christophe Delcourt both celebrates the brand’s material essence — rich wood and natural stone — and pays homage to the architectural history of Italy. For the dining table, two sculptural semicylindrical travertine legs stand like time-worn columns and beautifully set o f the rich walnut surface and support bars. A concave groove running down the table’s centre is filled with more of the perfectly imperfect stone, a considered and poetic detail that is repeated on the coordinating Palatine sideboard. The collection also includes a sofa and armchair upholstered in an alpaca wool–blend bouclé. ↑ CHATSWORTH PEDESTAL TABLE Intended as a modern heirloom — one of 14 in the first-ever furniture collection by L.a.-based multidisciplinary design studio West Haddon Hall, helmed by Kate Driver — the Chatsworth pedestal table positions a simple round oak surface atop a trio of sculptural legs, each set slightly askew and lacquered in a warm terracota. Made to order by local artisans, the table has a charming elegance and bespoke style that speaks to the firm’s “wink and a smile” approach to design.
