Description
Our Porto dining table is a round table in black mango wood, 90cm across and 76cm tall, standing on a single fluted pedestal rather than four legs. The top is a plain round disc with a crisp edge, and the base is a broad column of close vertical ribs that sits on a slim round foot. Mango is a hardwood, and at 28KG this is a substantial, weighty piece of furniture rather than a lightweight occasional table.
A 90cm round top suits a smaller dining room, a kitchen with space for a table, or an open-plan room where a rectangular table would block the way through. Because the pedestal sits in the middle, there are no legs at the edge to knock into, so chairs draw in freely all the way round. At 76cm tall it sits at a usual dining height, so it works with most dining chairs. Beyond the dining room it makes a handsome hallway or centre table for a vase of flowers, a lamp and a few books, or a quiet place for homework, cards and board games.
Both the top and the base are mango wood, black all over under a lacquer finish. The table is rated for a maximum load of 40KG, which is worth knowing before you set a heavy stone planter or a tall stack of books on it. Lacquer seals the surface, so care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, the black ribbed column looks its best against pale floors and light walls, where the fluting shows clearly; pair it with rattan, velvet or pale upholstered chairs to soften all that black.
