Besides being super stylish, Bodema’s floral arrangement or other centerpiece. Around the table, Bodema’s Monica dining chair has the right mix of aesthetics and ergonomics. A frame of beech wood is padded and upholstered in leather, but fabric upholstery options are also available.
Sometimes the focus of an elegant dining table is not on its top, but rather on the base that supports it. This is the case with EmmeBi’s Genesis Dining Table. A tempered plate glass tabletop sits on a sinuously swirled leg of sculpted solid black walnut, which makes the design feel lighter. The top itself comes in extra light or smoked glass or it can also be ordered in black walnut that has been matte-lacquered on one of the EmmeBi signature colors.
For those who prefer wooden dining tables, the Mo Table from Ritzwell is a streamlined and beautiful choice. The rounded edges of the design by Shinsaku Miyamoto is smooth and luxurious, as well as durable. Crafted from a solid oak base with either a solid oak or walnut top, the table has an easy feeling and helps create a warm and inviting scene.
Another modern dining table with an amazing base is the Arcos from Tonon, with its highly architectural structure. Constructed from 8mm diameter chromed steel rod, the base is sturdy but light in appearance, giving it a bit of an edgy look. The wooden top is warm and natural and can be made from walnut, oak, beechwood or a lacquered version — whatever fits the decor best.
A good match for this table is the Fl@t Chair, designed by Martin Ballendat. The seat of the chair is actually made from a flat form that is then bent and fixed with steel hardware to hold the shape.
Another unique base design highlights Mac’s Table from Tonon. Designer Mac Stopa created this glass-topped sculpture in a way that it can be constructed of multiple elements that can be arranged in a variety of configurations. The base can be made from oak or American walnut, or in “Soft Touch”, which is a polyurethane that comes in 12 different colors to accent your design scheme.
The Lucky Chair, designed by Martin Ballendat, was conceived to be functional in cafeterias and public spaces, as well as in your own home. A flowing shape is created in a mold, yielding a very comfortable and durable shell that’s available in a rainbow of colors.
Like an undulating wave, the base of the Orbit dining table from Natisa wends its way across the floor underneath the expansive marble tabletop. Named for the moon’s orbit, the base is made from more than 70 separate strips of ash wood in any one of three finishes. The top is shown in marble but is also available in glass or ceramic that is shiny or matte.
The lovely Rose dining chairs with the table are elegantly upholstered in velvet, which enhances the refined relaxation they provide. Vertical folds in the fabric paired with the back that curves around the seat make for an enveloping and comfortable dining chair.
A single sheet of metal is incredibly bent into a single, multifaceted design that serves as the base for the Cube dining table from Natisa. Its geometry creates movement in a dynamic piece that supports a large, oval table, contrasting the founded form with the more angular one. The base — as well as the top — is available in a range of different materials that lend that table a completely different look.
The aptly named Vortex table from Calligaris is an ideal centerpiece for a dining space because of its simple silhouette and more complex detail. Multiple metal bars swirl up the base, compacting as they converge in the middle, only to spread out again at the top.
The clean look is nicely paired with a thin tabletop made from glass, metal, or a ceramic/glass combo as shown here. And, because the table base is the focal point of the table, the chairs must be spare so that they don’t block the view of the table.
Newer mechanisms, like the one in this Icaro table by Calligaris, eliminate the fuss automatically hide the extensions under the table. The base of the Icaro is made of veneered wood while the top can be made of wood or ceramic. The extensions are positioned at each end of the table like wings, giving you the option of opening one or both.
Extendable tables can also have a more modern, edgy look as in the Premier Drive table from Cattelan Italia. The sturdy steel base is folded into an angular design finished in a lacquer available in black, graphite or titanium.
The top is made from glass that can be painted, frosted or left crystal clear. Designed by Andrea Lucatello and Giorgio Cattelan, the table has two extensions that slide out from either end of the table, adding a great deal of dining space when needed.
