The Dining Experience, take a closer look.

From family gatherings, dinner parties, homework spaces, makeshift offices, or just a place to eat. A dining table is quite a simple piece of furniture on paper. However, we all know it’s so much more, it's part of the Dining Experience.

Choose the wrong table and you're destined to spend years avoiding hosting events. Or end up creating an awkward collection of makeshift surfaces to balance your dinners...

The first thing to remember is that you're not choosing a dining table to cater for events that happen a few times a year. It's the same as with the living room, you're not designing a house based on the capacity for special occasions, you're designing a home to live in, for every dining experience...

There are many options available to you. Either you opt for compact tables, such as a square 4 seater or mid length table with the capacity for 6 when needed. Or, you choose a longer grander table if the dining room allows.

Another option is the extending table. In this case, the table extends using a hidden butterfly leaf extension that requires no extra storage. This allows for maximum hosting space, but only when you need it, allowing for a customisable dining experience. Why not check out our Brooklyn range, a truly rustic industrial collection. Brooklyn is made from reclaimed wood which retains its original markings and features.

The Styles to truly enhance your Dining Experience...

It's not just the size or format of table to consider, it's the style of the tables themselves. Obviously here at Casa Bella we're all about Solid Wood, but we still have a variety of ranges to think about.

Firstly we have the Dakota Mango Range, available in Light, Honey and Dark. These are classic yet contemporary made entirely from solid mango fruitwood, sourced from sustainable growers. They are then either kept light and natural or given one of the darker stains and finished with a satin lacquer.

Next we have the Oslo range, our Scandi style dining sets, these are also 100% solid mango, however they differ greatly in their styling. Just like most Scandi style pieces their poised legs, slimmer frames, curved finish and turned legs.

Lastly, and possibly our most diverse category, are the industrial ranges. These also feature solid mango wood table tops, however these are supported by repurposed or newly wrought iron legs.

The Imari range boasts a chunky top and sits atop large metal legs with a black finish. Available with an equally impressive bench, and well suited to a diverse array of dining chair options.

In addition to Imari Industrial, we also have the Urban Industrial range. The table and matching bench are made entirely from distressed solid mango wood. The Urban range features a brick-pattern top accompanied by repurposed black iron legs.
