Dining Furniture

Bowlman: Pub At Home

BMF-306D brings the pub into the kitchen. Its four-side drop leaf, together with storage space underneath, makes it a compact dining piece at home. Matching barstools are available upholstered in PU fabric. Both table and stools are made using KSK Veneer with MDF board for tabletop.

Green Continental Furniture:
Leader Of Innovation

Here is a table that saves floor space. Green Continental Furniture’s Twist Top Mechanism was created as an improvement of the standard Butterfly Extension. The conventional mechanism, said the Kedah-based maker, was a hassle for many as it takes a lot of strength to open and close the extension. This version is user friendlier – a soft push with only one finger is enough to open and close the extension leaf.

Heinz Kettler: Take Three Seats

Three in one: a baby’s high chair, child’s high chair and child’s chair. The multi functional chair “Duo” made by Herlag familiarises children with the art of sitting from a young age. This piece of furniture, which is constructed from solid beech and finished with plywood, is available in the colours natural, natural/orange as well as wenge/white.

Accente: Baroque Revival

Wicker manufacturer Accente looks back to baroque forms with its new series, Opéra. The chair by designer Hans Vieten features noteworthy elements like the curved legs. It is firmly encased in paper-sheathed wire and conveys a warmth and homely feeling just like the highly valued Lloyd Loom wicker on its seat and backrest. The chair features Swarovski crystal, which sets a delicate accent to the black loom wicker.

Living Divani: Sculptural Dining

Wedge is the first table designed for Living Divani by Arik Levy. Intended for both the residential and contract sectors, Wedge looks just as good in the dining room as the meeting room. It marks Living Divani’s first step into the production of architectural tables. Wedge’s sculptural symmetry is highlighted by trapezium legs inspired by the delicacy of an origami. Wedge is available in two versions: wood for indoors, and aluminium for indoors or outdoors.

Jetexim Business: European Flavour

This wintery season, Jetexim’s Montana offers comfort in warmth and durability. Solid wood with a glass slab in the tabletop makes the Montana an elegant piece. Matching chairs are upholstered in soft PU or PVC for comfort. The knocked-down piece is designed for the European market and can be shipped immediately in mixed containers without minimum per-model orders.

Hugo: Stylish Statement

Stylish in black and white, the DT 51 table and chairs (model 781 and 784 featured here) will be available at the upcoming Furniture China fair in Shanghai. Chairs come fully upholstered in patent fabric, with a choice of metal or wooden legs.

Cassina: Black Beauty

Volage features seating surfaces are stitched with piping. The high-grade cover can come in leather or fabric and completely covers the frame.
