Long, lean dining tables

I love long, rectangular dining tables. Utilitarian and elegant at the same time, they have a chameleon-like quality that allows them to easily fit in with different types of decor. While a round pedestal-style table can look lovely in a smaller space, I’d go for one of these if I had the option.

My dream dining table, the Surface design by Established & Sons. Made of layered carbon fibre, it’s only 2mm thick at the edge and looks like it’s floating on air. As I would be, if I could only afford it:

table one

table two

Not quite as slick but lovely just the same, the Jerez table in white aluminum, from habitat:

table three

For a more rustic take on the same shape, I like the Luca range from Heal’s:

table four

Ikea PS

Last month, Swedish retail giant and ubiquitous modern furniture retailer Ikea unveiled their new collection Ikea PS at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Checking out the offerings online this weekend, I thought there are several that would look at home in a stylish kitchen.
