Flint Dining Table

The Flint Dining Table is 286cm long, 118cm wide and 76cm high, in oak veneer finished in satin oak and sealed with Lucero oil. Four oversized pillar legs can be positioned inset or at the outer edges. It seats 10 to 12.

Repositionable legs are a genuinely unusual feature and they change what the table can do. Set inset, the ends are clear and two more chairs fit there; set to the outer edges, the table reads as more architectural and the legs stop anyone sitting at the ends. The same table serves ten or twelve depending on which you choose.

At 286cm this is a room-defining object rather than a piece of furniture, and the width matters as much as the length. At 118cm across, two people can serve from opposite sides without reaching over each other, which is what makes a table this long practical rather than merely large.

Lucero oil is a penetrating finish rather than a film. It leaves the timber texture readable under the hand, which suits a satin oak, and it can be refreshed in place, where a damaged varnish has to be stripped.
