Description
Ames is a round dining table, 90cm across and 75cm tall, made from 95% MDF and 5% paper with a lacquered finish in beige. The top is a round disc with no corners, and it stands on a tapering cone base with flat panels angled out from its sides, resting on a round plate at the floor. A fine veined pattern runs across the top and down the base, giving it the look of stone, yet it is made of MDF and paper and the whole table weighs 21.95KG.
At 90cm across it suits a smaller dining room, a kitchen or the corner of an open-plan living space, and it fits a flat where every centimetre counts. Because the base sits in the centre rather than at the edge, chairs can be drawn in all the way round without meeting a leg, and 75cm is the usual height for a table you sit at. It works just as well by a window as a place to read, write or set up a laptop, and with a maximum load of 80KG it takes a table lamp, a stack of books or a heavy vase without complaint.
The finish is lacquered, and its care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth whenever it needs it. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can read through the steps before you start. For styling, the beige top sits well beside slim black metal chairs or softly upholstered seats, and a pendant hung low over the centre makes the round top the heart of the room. Keep the surface fairly clear, with a single low vase or a pair of candlesticks, and let the veined pattern do the work.
