A long rectangular porcelain slab in a Calacatta pattern floats above a pair of turned baluster pedestals, while broad plinth feet and a low stretcher anchor the whole composition.

The contrast of clean stone-look surface and classically shaped base gives it presence without heaviness. The top is porcelain in a Calacatta gloss finish, soft ivory ground washed with diffuse grey veining and a few cloudier streaks across the surface.

The base is built from poplar and finished in a muted grey paint with a quiet sheen, with faint wood grain reading through the painted surface on the turned sections and feet. This one suits a transitional dining room that wants a piece with character on both halves. Pair it with upholstered linen or leather side chairs, a pair of host armchairs at the ends, and a long pendant or row of shaded fixtures overhead. A wool rug in a soft neutral, a sideboard in painted or stained wood, and a few ceramics on the table keep the room feeling warm and lived in. See less
