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

Checking out the offerings online this weekend, I thought there are several that would look at home in a stylish kitchen.
