Modern Tables

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Bespoke Solid Aged French Natural Weatherd Oak Barrel Round Dining Table
Located in Casteren, NB
Introducing our round barrel table, a stunning Modern Rustic dining table—an embodiment of craftsmanship and contemporary design, redefining the essence of circular dining tables for an unparalleled dining experience where everybody can see the guest's face. It features a centrally positioned circular wooden column or barrel, enhancing the ease of chair placement without any obstructive table legs. The design allows for ample legroom and facilitates comfortable seating around the table. With its robust yet elegant build, this round table seamlessly blends rustic allure with practicality. This remarkable table features a solid baked oak tabletop crafted from wide planks with beautiful grain patterns. The planks are planed flat on the underside and only sanded on the top, revealing the saw cut from the bandsaw and dark spots from the artificial drying process. As a result, the surface of the table has a slightly uneven or bumpy character. Brimming with small natural cracks and knots, the wood presents a charmingly rustic aesthetic. The wood has been lightly finished with a grayish tint, giving it a subtle weathered look. The protective matte lacquer finish makes the table comfortable to use without risking stains. With its distinct design and superior finish, the round-barrel dining table...
