Curated Finds for Eline — Pendant Lights & Dining Tables
A curated edit of statement dining tables and pendant lights designed to bring warmth, character, and sculptural elegance to your dining space
Dear Eline,
Inspired by your brief, I have curated a personalized edit for your dining room, keeping your preferred styles of eclectic, art deco, and mid-century modern in mind.
Your combination of references feels incredibly rich and layered, and I love the direction of pairing a more decorative statement pendant with a dining table that feels sculptural and refined. Since you mentioned that you would prefer the tabletop not to be in wood, I focused on materials such as marble, lacquer, and glass finishes that still bring warmth and character while creating a more elevated contrast against timber legs or darker wood tones.
For the lighting, I looked for pieces that feel visually striking and atmospheric without overwhelming the space. Many of the options have a sculptural quality to them, balancing softness and drama in a way that feels timeless.
As I don’t have the measurements of the dining room or table, I have included a mix of round, oval, and rectangular shapes in different sizes so you have a wider variety to explore depending on the proportions of the space.
I hope you enjoy exploring your curated edit, and I would love to know which direction you feel most drawn to.
Warm regards,
Iokasti
Pendant Light Finds
I love this chandelier, it feels like the perfect balance between mid-century and art deco. The Soho Home Belsize Chandelier has a sculptural quality with the opal glass globes and antique brass detailing, while the dark marble accents make it feel elevated and timeless. It’s definitely a statement piece, but still elegant enough to work beautifully in a dining room.
I really like this chandelier because it feels understated but still very elegant. The linen shades soften the overall look, while the antique brass finish gives it that timeless mid-century feel. It’s a beautiful option if you want something refined and atmospheric rather than overly dramatic.
This option feels incredibly theatrical and decorative in the best way. The Light Taupe and Gold Chandelier has a beautiful sculptural quality, with the taupe and gold combination giving it a softer, more contemporary take on art deco glamour.
This is a great option if you want something that feels both decorative and refined. The Crystal Dome 6 Light Pendant Lamp has a beautiful balance of glamour and softness, with the glass details adding an art deco feel while the dome silhouette keeps it contemporary. It would make a striking focal point above a dining table without overwhelming the space.
Another beautiful option which combines reeded glass, antique brass, and dark marble details in a way that feels very art deco inspired while still remaining timeless. I particularly like the circular shape and soft opal glow, which would create a warm and atmospheric feeling.
This is definitely an art deco piece. The Lonso Chandelier Designed by Coco Republic combines smoked brown glass with aged brass in a way that feels very rich and atmospheric, while still having that timeless mid-century influence. I particularly like the layered glass detailing, which gives it a glamorous, vintage-inspired feel without looking overly traditional.
This is the final option in the edit, and while it does go slightly over budget, I thought it was worth including as a true investment piece. The Porta Romana Holden Linear Pendant Uplight has a beautiful level of craftsmanship, with wrapped cane and brass details that make it feel incredibly warm, refined, and timeless. It brings together mid-century and art deco influences in a much more understated, elevated way, and would make a stunning focal point above your dining table.
Dining Table Finds
The Cool Flawas dining table feels playful and sculptural, which makes it a great option if you want to lean into the more eclectic side of the brief. I really like the contrast between the glossy fiberglass finish and the softer rounded edges, which stop it from feeling too harsh or futuristic. It has a strong personality while still feeling contemporary and refined.
What immediately stood out to me about the Kanta dining table is the marble top paired with the bold base, which gives it a very elevated art deco feel. The shape feels timeless, but the marble adds depth and drama, making it a beautiful statement piece for a dining room.
The Beni dining table brings in a softer, more organic feeling through the curved base and glass top. I thought this was a really interesting option because it feels light visually, which can work beautifully in a dining space where you still want the room to feel open and airy. It has a very contemporary but relaxed elegance to it.
There’s something very timeless about the Miley dining table. The oval marble top combined with the sculptural pedestal base gives it a subtle 1970s influence, while still feeling modern and elegant. I particularly like how soft and fluid the silhouette feels compared to more traditional marble dining tables.
This is probably the most artistic option in the edit. The Altana table feels almost like a collectible design piece, with its sculptural base and rich materiality. I thought it worked beautifully with your eclectic and maximalist references because it feels expressive and decorative without losing sophistication.
The Sculpt dining table feels much more understated compared to some of the other options, but that’s exactly what makes it so versatile. The ceramic top adds texture and depth, while the sculptural walnut base brings warmth into the space. It’s a very balanced design that could work beautifully with a more statement pendant above it.
