Outdoor Dining Tables as Functional Sculpture

By Caluco
Allowing dining tables to perform as sculptural pieces while retaining their overall function adds a dynamic quality to outdoor spaces without adding non-functional pieces that clutter the space.  A distinctive dining table is also a great way to announce which art and design movements resonate with the homeowner.  Pairing a unique dining table with similarly styled teak chairs allows the dining chairs to subtly fade into the background, maintaining continuity and allowing the table to be the focal point.  The fade-away chair look is also popularly achieved by using the Ghost Chair by Kartell ($410).
The 44" Round Red Alfresco Table is by Loll ($889).  Made with recycled materials, it is eco-friendly or eco-chic.  The simple contemporary red table is paired with the clean lined Rolland Teak Stacking Chair by Caluco.  
The 48" Round Florence Iron Dining Table ($509) and the classic Teak Niza Folding Dining Side Chairs by Caluco ($66) allow a more contemporary interpretation of a classically styled table.
The Emu Outdoor Furniture Collection has exquiste tables with sculptural qualities, particularly the Vera and Heaven Collections.
