A well-designed dining table can pull a room together. Add to that a few expertly crafted and super-comfortable chairs, and the scene is set for everything from a casual lunch or a more formal evening affair. Whether eating inside or outside, these eight dining tables and five chairs serve up some serious style points. Also, we’ve rounded up four of the latest professional-grade ovens and ranges that help deliver the perfect meal. 

Indoor Tables

1

Saki by Minotti

Cantilevered on a shapely tapered base, the elegant top of the Saki table by Nendo for Minotti appears to float effortlessly in place, while the gently rounded edges give the table a welcoming expression. It’s available in various materials, sizes and shapes, including a larger rectangular version with two supporting pedestals.

2

Biarritz by Ditre Italia

Inspired by the eclectic architecture of Biarritz, France, the surfing capital of Europe, the Biarritz table by Dainelli Studio for Ditre Italia marries a distinctive cross-section metal base (in anthracite, silk grey or pewter) with a thin oval top (in marble, glass or wood) that echoes the form of a surfboard.

3

Calla by Calligaris

With a sculptural base reminiscent of a flower in bloom, the Calla table from Calligaris makes for a worthy centrepiece in modern spaces. The two interlocking thin metal blades (in five matte finishes) open outward in a nod to “vitality and rebirth.” Multiple sizes and shapes are available for the tabletop, which comes in a range of glass, tempered glass and ceramic options.

4

Hashira by Ligne Roset

While generous in size and presence, the four conical pillars of Ligne Roset’s Hashira table by Belgian designer Alain Gilles are positioned to avoid compromising leg space. A subtle curve at the tabletop’s edge furthers its friendly silhouette; the black-stained ash legs can be paired with a matching surface or one in natural walnut or white Carrara marble.

Outdoor Tables

1

Darma Square by Balè Homewares

Handcrafted by skilled Indonesian artisans from sustainably sourced teak — which will develop a lovely silver-grey patina over time — the Darma Square outdoor dining table from Balè Homewares harmoniously blends clean modern lines with organic warmth. The U-shaped base lends a sculptural quality that is tempered by the rounded-edge corners of the slatted top.

2

Henry by Poliform

French designer Emmanuel Gallina has reimagined his Henry table for the outdoors by replacing the solid wood structure and wood, marble or glass tabletop with cast aluminum and solid teak or crackle-finish stoneware tiles, respectively. The Poliform design is available in two sizes.

3

Mymi by Dedon

GamFratesi explored Parisian café culture when creating the Mymi bistro table and chair for Dedon, infusing the set with artisanal details: The brand’s all-weather, plant-based fibre is woven around the table’s columnar base (in two colour options) and the seat’s backrest (in three colours), adding tactility to the striking pieces.

4

Ancora by Magis

Inspired by the industrial architecture of Pier Luigi Nervi and Angelo Mangiarotti, Ancora by Ronan Bouroullec for Magis balances a sculptural austerity with precision and strength. Made from concrete, the curled base elements obliquely reference an anchor in shape and support tops in concrete, tempered glass or oak.

Dining Chairs

1

Marea by Stellar Works

Part of a larger collection by Alessandro Munge for Stellar Works that nods to both his Italian heritage and contemporary Canadian sensibility, the Marea dining chair is defined by gentle curves, smooth lines and a strong artisanal quality. A metal handle integrated in the backrest is a thoughtful detail that emphasizes its lightweight construction.

2

Svelte by OWIU Design

Taking cues from organic forms in nature and the contours of the human body, the solid oak Svelte dining chair from OWIU Design embraces the sitter with generous comfort. On the practical side, the slightly splayed armrests support effortless rising and lowering, and the chair is stackable up to four for easy storage. A companion table in two sizes is included in the collection.

3

Monk by Molteni&C

A reissue of a 1973 design by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, the Monk chair from Molteni&C retains the original’s pared-back monastic character while introducing a solid wood frame (in American walnut, black oak or coffee oak) to support the leather back and seat; burnished steel rivets secure the material to the structure, enhancing the handcrafted quality.

4

Lira by Castlery

Seeming to float atop the sculptural solid rubber wood frame (in chestnut or black), the padded backrest of the Lira dining chair from Castlery pivots when the sitter leans back, offering continuous support; the yarn-dyed tweed performance upholstery fabric is spill-resistant for peace of mind.

5

Risu by Ethnicraft

The curved backrest of the Risu dining chair from Ethnicraft takes it shape from a grain of rice, lending ergonomic support with timeless appeal. Flat-packed and easy to assemble, the piece is constructed from durable white oak that is varnished to highlight the natural characteristics of the wood. Risu is stackable up to three high.
