Bringing Style to the Table

Your dining table plays a big part in the home. Whether you are eating around it, catching up with friends with a big mug of coffee and biscuits, or using it to work on, it is a worthwhile investment and one that needs to be well thought through.

For a start, the shape of the table is important. If space is an issue, consider a circular table so it is easy to walk around, and always make sure that the chairs are comfortable and at a good height – with adequate space between your legs and the bottom of the tabletop.

Masquespacio and Houtique presented the Wink chair at Maison & Objet this year, delighting us with its fanciful fringing and design (www.masquespacio.com).

Designed by Nanna Ditzel for Fredericia, the stackable Trinidad is an eye-catching chair that comes with optional seat upholstery. Shown here with Fredericia’s solid oak Taro dining table, the chair was designed by Jasper Morrison (www.fredericia.com).

This boho dining set can be sold as a package from Zoco Home. The natural wood furniture and overhead Shezad seagrass lampshade gives a chic and stripped-back Scandinavian look. Zoco Home is situated in Centro Idea on the Mijas Road (www.zocohome.com).

OH… TO BE A Bar Fly
