Furnishing a small space can be challenging, especially if you don’t want to give up hospitality and shared meals. Round tables come to our aid with space-saving solutions, which, thanks to their shape, encourage conviviality.
The challenge is open: different styles, tastes and needs, round tables satisfy them all, offering a vast choice in terms of design, materials and finishes. The question is: which one to choose? Here are 10 options ranging from extendable models to glass or wooden tables, from minimalist solutions to more eccentric options, with crossed legs or supported by a single pedestal. Whatever the request, there’s the ideal table ready to welcome laughter, toasts, and good conversation.
1 – TRANSPARENT CHARMER
Ona, the round dining table by Northdeco, is made entirely of black tempered glass, also available in transparent and caramel versions. It accommodates up to 6 people and is suitable for small spaces: an excellent solution for combining conviviality and efficiency.
