Curated Finds for Kiki — Dining Table
Dear Kiki,
Inspired by your brief, I’ve curated a personalised edit of dining tables that brings together sculptural shapes, beautiful materials and a little architectural character, while keeping your budget and style preferences in mind. From softly curved silhouettes to distinctive pedestal bases, I’ve focused on pieces that feel contemporary yet timeless, with natural wood grains, subtle stone finishes and details that will sit beautifully within your colourful kitchen. I’ve also kept practicality in mind, prioritising designs that make moving around your banquette corner a little easier without compromising on style.
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 find the selection useful and, most importantly, that you discover a piece that feels like the right fit for your home. I’d love to know which ones stand out to you.
Best wishes,
Iokasti
I love how this table combines a softly curved silhouette with a really distinctive base. The rich, marbled wood-effect finish brings warmth and depth, while the sculptural metal legs add an unexpected touch of glamour. At 200 × 100cm, it’s also very close to your ideal dimensions. It would make a beautiful statement against a colourful backdrop without feeling too busy.
If you’re drawn to architectural shapes, this one is a real standout. The sweeping oval top and substantial travertine-effect plinth bases give it a sculptural, almost gallery-like quality, while the pale, natural finish offers a lovely contrast to a colourful kitchen. It’s slightly larger than your original measurements, so it’s worth checking the available space around your banquette, but the shape and material make it a beautiful option.
I wanted to include a round option to explore your love of curves and playful geometry. A circular table can soften the look of a kitchen and create a lovely contrast with the straight lines of a banquette. This is the one to consider if you’re open to moving away from the oval or rectangular shape, although I’d check the diameter carefully to make sure it works for your corner and seating arrangement.
For something with a little more richness, I’d consider this brown marble design. The natural-looking veining brings movement and texture, while the deeper tones would sit beautifully alongside warm woods, brass accents and colourful accessories. It’s a way to introduce a luxurious material without relying on a plain neutral finish. I’d check the dimensions and base layout against your banquette before making a final decision.
This is a slightly more unexpected choice if you’d like to lean into the contemporary, architectural side of your brief. The combination of glass and a sculptural structure can feel lighter and more playful than a solid wooden table, which could be useful in a room that already has lots of colour and personality. At 220 × 100cm, it’s longer than requested, so I’d make sure the extra length works before committing.
