The dining table becomes an icon of style and functionality with refined formal details and prestigious materials
Form and function blend elegantly in these sophisticatedly designed dining tables that fit effortlessly into a modern and flawless dining room. Authentic icons of style, they tell of all the expertise and care with which they have been designed, starting with careful research on the functions they must perform, interpreted by the creative spirit and intuition of the designers whose signature they bear. Sculptural, they present a perfect balance of proportions and visual textures between the base and the top that are found in a harmonious and efficient dialogue. Not surprisingly, the dining table is still confirmed today as a meeting place of choice, to have a meal as well as to discuss and exchange ideas both at work and in private life. In the modern dining room the boundary between work space and personal space becomes fluid and the table is the absolute protagonist of this change not as a hybrid but rather as a versatile tool, to be chosen with attention and enthusiasm.
Il Colonnato by Mario Bellini for Kettal
In 1977 Mario Bellini imagines this table (on the cover) as a portico supported by large columns. From this image derives the architecture and the name of a dining table that has become iconic and that after almost fifty years of history is still surprisingly contemporary. An iconic table, in fact, initially conceived in marble and proposed today, by Kettal, also in stone for an industrial chic accent and in teak suitable for the outdoor dining area.
Shibumi is a dining table with a round or oval top in ash or marble. The rounded profile softens the technical grit of the structure that supports it, an articulated design of brushed bronzed brass and ash that makes the whole stable and visually appealing. A domestic architecture to discover and appreciate.
Henry by Emmanuel Gallina for Poliform
With Henry, Emmanuel Gallina brilliantly manages to overcome the challenge of combining the functionality of the extendable table with the formal perfection of a furniture rich in sophisticated details. The structure is in solid wood composed of essential and linear feet. The top can be in wood, marble or glass and its thickness, when it meets the base, creates a graceful and ethereal visual whole.
Bolero by Roberto Lazzeroni for Poltrona Frau
Rectangular or round, the Bolero table comes in both the version with a wooden top and the version with a marble top as a solution with minimalistic elegance and a contemporary style. The design is clean and linear and focuses attention on the beauty of the materials carefully chosen to furnish the dining room in a discreet and elegant way.
Vestige by Note Studio for Sancal
The strong detail of this project is undoubtedly the sculptural base. It consists of two large rectangular blocks from which a semi-cylindrical section has been subtracted in the upper part as if to introduce a note of lightness on which the champagne-colored glass top rests. A contemporary table with a postmodern soul.
Ordinal by Michael Anastassiades for Cassina
Michael Anastassiades finds the perfect solution to make the supporting structure of the dining table less invasive for diners. He invents a new type of leg by placing it diagonally. This solution also generates an unprecedented shape that at the same time enhances the beauty of the materials chosen: Carrara marble, Calacatta, Verde Alpi and Argento Portoro and wood combined with metal.
Smalto by Barber & Osgerby for Knoll
The glossy and tactile finish of this table is the key element to grasp its beauty. It is no coincidence that it is called Smalto (Italian for enamel) and it is precisely this texture that it evokes through its dense colors in the dark and material shades proposed.
Drop Leaf by Hvidt & Mølgaard for & Tradition
Quintessence of Scandinavian design that generates a recognizable and familiar aesthetic from function, Drop Leaf is a folding table whose structure, in fulfilling the function, takes on formal sculptural and captivating characteristics. Extremely evocative of the Scandinavian design tradition to which the table belongs.
