Solid oak, cast concrete, and a metal frame with a lift-off tray – the new tables at Dantone Home fall into three material families, and each one carries a room differently. The oak pieces ground a room with weight and grain. The concrete ones move between the terrace and the living room. On a slim metal frame, the lightest can be picked up with one hand and set down wherever the evening needs it.
The Pebble collection takes its name from its forms: rounded edges and flowing profiles, like stones worn smooth by a river. Instead of conventional legs, the pieces stand on thin blocks of solid oak that run past the edges of the top, so the structure reads as an assembly rather than a frame.
Four pieces join this season. Two low tables share the same round 110 cm top at coffee-table height, one in oak and one with a stone top that brings a cooler, harder surface into the same silhouette. A dining table stretches to 235 cm for a full table's seating. A display unit takes the collection upright, to 195 cm, for open storage along a wall.
The oak stays light, with pale veining, so the pieces sit in a room without darkening it.
Three concrete pieces come from the outdoor range, though the material works as well indoors: cast concrete holds up to sun and rain on a terrace, and reads as sculpture in a living room. Each is a single form rather than a base-and-top assembly.
Serena is a round dining table on a solid conical pedestal, 150 cm across, wide enough to seat a group. Fiore is a long, low coffee table, a shallow trough of concrete that sits close to the floor. Lima is the smallest, a fluted column that works as a stool or a side table beside a chair. All three are matt, in an off-white tone.
The Train collection sets oak on a slim metal frame in a champagne tone, with a curved foot that keeps the base light and open. Two new tables extend it, each with a removable tray for the top.
The tray lifts off to carry drinks or food, then drops back to become the surface again, which suits a piece that moves between the sofa, the bedside, and the balcony. The two differ in stance: the wider D53 sits lower, the narrower D40 stands taller, near bedside height – so one can settle by a sofa and the other by a bed or a chair.
