Dining Tables

A dining table accompanies everyday meals as well as dinners with guests. It is around the table that conversations begin and your loved ones linger without watching the time. Its size depends on the number of people to seat, the space available and how you use it. Our selection of dining tables includes round, square, rectangular and oval models, in solid wood, veneer or lacquered MDF, to help you find a designer dining table that fits into your room.

How do you choose the right dining table?

Start with the number of people you usually seat, then consider how many you host when entertaining. The capacity indicated for each model provides an initial guide, to be considered alongside the length and width of the tabletop. Measure the room too: the table should leave enough space to pull out chairs and move around it, which you can check by comparing your measurements with the dimensions on the product page. If you live as a couple or a group of three on a daily basis but often entertain, an extendable model avoids taking up space the rest of the time. Here are a few examples from our catalogue:

Which table shape should you choose for your dining room?

Round tables have no corners: everyone can see all the other guests, and the tabletop easily fits into a dining nook or a square room. The Liwa and Réno, for example, measure 105 and 100 cm in diameter and seat 4 people. Square tables, such as the 90 cm Julio, are suitable for a meal for four in a small dining room or kitchen. Rectangular tables follow the length of a room and leave space for serving dishes, like the 150 cm Oman or the 240 cm Tanah. Oval tables combine this length with rounded edges, without corners obstructing passageways. To compare capacities, browse our 6-person tables and our 8-person tables.

Which material and style should you choose for your dining table?

Solid wood gives each tabletop its own distinctive grain: acacia for the June and Gia, mango wood for the Maya and Alix. The Mémo is made from recycled teak wood. Veneers combine a surface wood with another support: the Paula and Izzi combine solid rubberwood with oak or walnut veneer, while the Asma combines plywood with walnut or light oak veneer. For a uniform finish, the Lydia is made from off-white lacquered MDF. The Agathe combines white marble and mango wood, while the Moorea combines wood and metal. Care requirements vary from one material to another: refer to the advice provided on each product page. As for style, light wood and simple lines suit a Scandinavian interior, dark or black wood works well with a more graphic décor, while wood combined with metal creates an industrial feel.

What should you pair with your dining table?

Wooden chairs extend the natural feel of a wooden tabletop, while velvet chairs provide a more enveloping seat for long meals. To keep the room cohesive, choose shades that complement those of the tabletop. Before choosing from our chairs, compare their seat height with that of the table, indicated on each product page. Sideboards keep tableware within easy reach, while pendant lights illuminate the tabletop. Explore our full range of dining room furniture to furnish the room.
