Mid-Century-Modern Gio Ponti inspired dining table
A six-seater glass-topped dining table for a stylish West London apartment, inspired by the work of Gio Ponti and classic mid-century furniture. The table base is shown here without its low-iron glass top for clarity of images.
Mid-century styling
Walnut tones, sculpted joinery, splayed angles and tapered legs speak the language of classic mid-century style
Brass pins
Both functional and aesthetic these brass pins reinforce the bridle joints and provide sophisticated yet subtle visual detailing
Brass feet
Turned, tapered solid brass feet continue the MCM styling and provide hardwearing and robust feet that will stand the test of time
The client wanted a dining table which would be at home amongst her carefully assembled and curated collection of decorative objects and furniture pieces. Mid-century styling, walnut wood and brass and gold metal tones appeared in a few of her existing items, so were natural choices. The open table frame and glass top were designed to provide a decent sized table without overly dominating the open-plan lounge/dining space.
Lovely American black walnut grain, sculpted joints and solid brass turned feet give a nod to MCM design, whilst the brass pin details in the main bridle joints perform both aesthetic and structural roles.
