A dining table is surely one of the most essential pieces of home as it gathers people daily together to enjoy food and company. At its best, the multi-purpose table also serves as a desk for other everyday tasks. Whether you are looking for a small, large, angular, or round table, you will find the one from our selection!
A timeless classic
Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1935, Artek's Aalto 91 table is an enduring favorite that delights design fans from one decade to another. Made of solid birch, the table has recognizable L-legs, which guarantees a solid structure. In addition, the white laminate acts as a strong surface against everyday challenges and is resistant to shocks and moisture. With the right care, Aalto tables will stay beautiful from generation to generation!
For the get-togethers
If you like to host dinner parties for many people, it makes sense to invest in an extendable table. With Warm Nordic's Evermore dining table, you can invite a big group of family or friends to eat – separately sold extensions bring even 90 centimeters extra length to the table. The teak table by Arne Hovmand-Olsen represents Danish design and craftmanship traditions at its best.

Sculptural shapes
Looking for some distinctive luxury? GUBI’s Epic dining table is a sturdy eye-catcher combining two geometric elements: a hexagon and a circle. Designed by the design studio GamFratesi, the table is made of magnificent travertine stone, bringing a touch of nature and a unique personality to the interior.
A splash of color
HAY's Two-Colour table is a happy mix of playful colors and stripped minimalism. Designed by the Belgian duo Muller Van Severen, the table features a steel base and a tabletop crafted from a new type of MDF material, Valchromat. The clear silhouette and joyful color combinations create a fun contrast to any space – in addition to the dining table, the table also serves as a temporary home office desk.
For the small space
A compact dining area requires petite furniture with sleek legs and a light appearance. &Tradition's In Between is a small dining table designed by Sami Kallio that charms with its curved shapes and sloping legs. If you wish to hide or store the table every now and then, it features easily detachable legs. The smaller table works also as a breakfast table in the kitchen if the larger dining table is placed elsewhere.

Asymmetrical design
The dining table can be a beautiful work of art as well as a practical helper at once. Eero Aarnio’s Parabel is made of fiberglass, which is one of the designer's favorite materials – it allows free and expressive design but is one of the easy to care and long-lasting materials to meet the needs of a table surface. The white color gives justice to the sculptural, asymmetrical shape.

Versatile flipping
Design House Stockholm's Flip table is a true multi-tasker, as it merges together three types of tables: a dining table, a desk, and a side table. Designed by Jesper Ståhl, the Flip table has 14 hinges that allow for quick and easy folding. The oak veneer table is the perfect multifunctional furniture for small living areas.
