Curated Finds for Charis — Dining Tables
Dear Charis,
Inspired by your brief, I’ve pulled together a selection of round dining tables and chairs that capture the warm, mid-century feel of the Santoria table you had in mind, while working beautifully within a smaller living space.
I’ve focused on natural wood, cane and warm leather finishes to complement your existing Cary chairs, with a mix of more pared-back options and a few with a little more character.
If you'd like a little more support pulling everything together, take a look at Style, our room design service at Design Lab By Livingetc. We'd have a 45-minute one-to-one call to discuss your space, and afterwards I'd put together a full moodboard for your space, along with tailored product recommendations and a clear design direction.
I hope you enjoy exploring your curated edit, and I'd love to hear which pieces you feel most drawn to.
Best wishes,
Iokasti
Dining Tables
This is probably the closest match to the brief. I really like the warmth of the solid teak and the chunky pedestal shape — it has that relaxed, slightly vintage feel that would work beautifully with the existing Cary chairs. The 90cm size also feels just right for a small dining area.
A slightly more contemporary take on the Santoria shape. The 85cm diameter is a little smaller than requested, but actually makes sense if the room is particularly tight. I like the rounded, sculptural base — it gives the table a bit more presence without making it feel bulky. It’s currently listed at £629, so just above the £600 budget.
I included this because I really like the simple central-base silhouette. It has a slightly more contemporary feel than the Santoria, but the pedestal base keeps the footprint visually light and makes it easy to tuck two chairs around. The version shown here is 120cm, so it’s larger than the requested size and would only work if there’s a little more room to play with.
This one is more of a statement and I like the substantial mango-wood top and dark finish, though, especially with lighter rattan chairs. If there’s enough space, it could give the room a really lovely, slightly retro feel.
