Brands outdid themselves at this year’s Milan Design Week and we’ve seen some of the most show stopping pieces of furniture. If you want to make a statement in your home, the message is clear: it’s your dining table that will be the centre of attention. We’re talking large, heavy looking shapes with a real monumental presence that have a sculptural quality about them, making them not just functional pieces of furniture, but artistic expressions of design.
Marble, glass, metal, stone, and wood are all used to create shapes that depart from what we’ve seen so far, and push boundaries towards a contrast of intricate geometric forms and solid blocks. These tables are each so beautiful in their individual way, and present such character, that they can hold their own in the face of any passing trend and stay relevant as pieces of functional art for a long time to come.
