If you liked the Metro dining table from Birdman Furniture, then you will probably love the equally stylish Kyoto round dining table. Once again the name would imply an Asian theme, and designer Frans van der Heyden delivers just that in this modern 8 person table. The contrast of the round top and the three bent and tapered legs create a strong look from simple elements that make the best of sharp edges. Birdman furniture offers the Kyoto 170 cm round dining table in four finishes which include light, dark, slate, and rose for adaptation in various environments. The Birdman line includes some really cool lounge chairs, accent tables, and lamps that are a must see.
Sure most square dining tables have four legs but its all in the configuration as to how cool the table will look. Dutch designer Frans van der Heyden used a different approach to the Metro dining table that sets it apart from what's out there. Heyden's "Birdman" furniture line has a distinctly Asian influence that incorporates clean lines, bold shapes, and opposing angles that I find very appealing. The Birdman collection has some really awesome designs that are fun and perfect for the modern minded decorator. The Metro dining table is perfect for 8 guests and comes in 150 or 160cm square x 75cm height.
Who says a dining table needs four legs and a round, square, or rectangular top. Not designer Sacha Lakic, creator of the "Speed Up" modern furniture collection for French maker Roche Bobois. This anything but typical dining table features a very atypical top supported by a racy pedestal for a most hi-tech statement. In a previous post by Furniture Fashion, our readers got a good look at the stunning Speed Up sofa which also takes minimal modern design and incorporates 60's inspiration, creating "a perfect union between functionalism and passion, daring and practicality." I can really see the Speed Up sideboard and dining table combination becoming a focal point of even the most well decorated interior. The sideboard features sliding door, Thermo Shaped frame, and neon lighting in the vertical divider.
Here is the look of today's Danish modern dining furniture from a well experienced name in the business. Skovby of Denmark has 50 years of history in quality hand made dining furniture with a style and finish for any modern decor. Their line of tables is very innovative and accommodating to space issues with models housing various pop up and hide away extensions. Skovby remains committed to old world quality despite their up to date appearance, and is a member of the Danish Furniture Manufacturers Organization. Skovby offers a full line of wood options including cherry, rosewood, wenge, oak, ash, and of coarse teak.
If you are a lover of Asian inspired solid wood furniture, and a supporter of ecologically responsible manufacturing, then GreenTea Designs has a collection of furniture you must see. In addition to a great looking lineup, not a single tree is cut in the construction process which is centered on a commitment to the environment. The Large Maru rustic dining table top is made of traditional flooring taken from aging aristocratic homes in South Korea and coupled with the original supports as legs. Over the century of use, the 3" thick Asian Pine boards develop a patina and a smooth feel that fresh cut wood will not have for many years if ever. Each dining table will have unique facets and characteristics specific to that particular piece. The Large Maru is one of GreenTea's most popular styles and is available in a narrow and square size should space be an issue.
