Hard-Wearing Ceramic Dining Table

Ceramic is a type of material known for its exceptional durability and versatility. Our ceramic is manufactured by heating natural clay, minerals, and other raw materials at high temperatures, which leads to a dense, hard, and non-porous surface. This process hardens the ceramic, removes moisture, and enhances its strength and durability.  

Once fired, the ceramic base is ground and polished to achieve a smooth and level surface. This step ensures the surface is prepared for the lacquer application. Multiple layers of a high-gloss lacquer are applied to the ceramic base. This lacquer is specially formulated to mimic the appearance of real marble, incorporating pigments and textures to achieve realistic marble veining and patterns. Each layer is allowed to dry thoroughly before applying the next. 

After the final lacquer layer is applied, the entire table undergoes a curing process to ensure the lacquer hardens completely and achieves its optimal gloss and durability.

Key Benefits (Table)

• Durability: Ceramic dining tables are renowned for their exceptional durability. Resistant to heat, scratches, and staining, ceramic surfaces withstand the rigours of daily use, ensuring longevity and preserving the table's pristine appearance over time.
• High density: The firing process during manufacturing results in a dense and compact material, contributing to its strength and durability. 
• Realistic Marble Aesthetic: The high gloss marble effect finish on ceramic tables imparts a luxurious and sophisticated appearance, showcasing intricate veining and patterns emulating the timeless beauty of natural marble, adding a touch of opulence to your dining space. 
• Easy Maintenance: The non-porous surface resists stains, and a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for routine cleaning. This ease of maintenance ensures that the table remains a source of beauty without requiring extensive care, contributing to a hassle-free dining experience.
• Affordability: Ceramic marble tables offer a cost-effective alternative to natural marble while delivering the same luxurious appearance. This affordability makes them accessible to a broader range of budgets, allowing you to enjoy the aesthetic appeal of marble without the premium price tag & demanding maintenance.
• Grey Marble: A conversation starter, immerse yourself in the captivating depths of smokey grey marble. Detailed silver and charcoal textures swirl across the surface, evoking a sense of mystery that's guaranteed to awe your guests.

Care Guide (Table)

• Regular Cleaning: Maintain the table's sheen by regularly wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild cleaning solution can be used,  avoiding abrasive cleaners to preserve the high gloss finish.
• Coasters & Placemats: While ceramic tables are resilient, using coasters under glasses and placing hot dishes on placemats or trivets is a good practice. This prevents potential heat damage and helps preserve the table's surface over time.
• Prompt Spill Cleanup: Promptly clean up spills to prevent staining. The non-porous nature of ceramic helps resist absorption, but swift action ensures the table stays pristine.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh cleaners, scouring pads, acidic products like vinegar or citrus juice, or bleach on your ceramic marble table. These can damage the lacquer finish and potentially even the ceramic itself.

Velvet Upholstered Dining Chairs

Velvet upholstery is a luxurious and highly sought-after choice for dining chairs due to its exceptional tactile qualities and elegant visual appeal. Our velvet is made from a carefully curated blend of polyester and cotton fibres, and the manufacturing process involves weaving these fibres into a dense pile fabric.

What sets our velvet apart is the specific method of weaving we use which results in its hallmark soft and plush texture. This process creates a series of closely spaced, evenly cut loops on the fabric's surface, which we then shear to create a smooth, dense pile. The loops and their uniform distribution are key to velvet's characteristic feel and shimmering appearance. 

The result is a fabric that exudes opulence and sophistication, making it a popular upholstery choice for those looking to infuse a touch of luxury into their dining spaces. Our velvet upholstery undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its durability, preventing issues like bobbling or fraying over time, making it a reliable choice for long-lasting dining chair upholstery.

High Density Foam Cushioning

When it comes to dining chairs, comfort reigns supreme. High-density foam plays a crucial role in achieving that perfect balance between plushness and support, ensuring hours of comfortable dining experiences

Crafting high-density foam for dining chairs involves an extensive process designed to achieve a densely packed yet weight-absorbing structure. High-quality polyurethane with a specific chemical composition is used as the base material. The PU is mixed with additives and undergoes a controlled chemical reaction, causing it to expand and solidify. Precise temperature and pressure control are crucial for achieving the desired density. The cured foam is carefully cooled and stabilised to ensure it retains its shape and density.

Unlike lower-density foams, high-density options resist flattening and maintain their shape over time. This ensures your chairs remain comfortable and supportive throughout their lifespan. High-density foam provides better support for your body, distributing weight evenly and minimising pressure points. This translates to reduced fatigue and increased comfort, even during extended dining sessions.

Key Benefits (Chairs)

• Enhanced Stain Resistance: The fabric undergoes treatments to make it more resistant to stains, making it a practical choice for dining chairs. Minor accidental spills are easier to clean, preventing long-term damage and maintaining the chairs' aesthetic appeal.
• High Abrasion Resistance: Our polyester velvet boasts a Martindale rub count around 50,000, exceeding industry standards for heavy-duty use. This translates to exceptional resistance to pilling, fraying and tearing, making it ideal for high-traffic dining areas and frequent use.
• Soft & Plush Texture: The densely woven pile creates a luxuriously soft and inviting surface, providing exceptional comfort while seated. This is further enhanced by the inherent suppleness of polyester fibres, which drape and conform to the body for added comfort.
• Breathable Fabric: Despite its dense pile, our polyester velvet exhibits good breathability, allowing air to circulate and preventing excessive heat build-up, especially during warmer months. This contributes to a more comfortable dining experience.
• Low Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of polyester velvet resists dust and dirt accumulation, making it easy to maintain. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is sufficient for removing dust and debris.
• Fire Retardancy: Our polyester velvet fabric is fire-resistance tested, complying with the UK fire safety standards for your peace of mind.
• Superior Comfort: Embrace the ergonomic design of this chair, designed for your well-being. The combination of a slightly curved back and plush foam cushioning provides a wellness-focused seating solution, promoting comfort and healthy sitting habits during every meal.
• Exquisite Detailing: This dining chair is a masterpiece of style, featuring chrome-studded lining for a touch of modern glamour, a deep-buttoned back design exuding timeless elegance, and polished chrome legs providing a sleek and sturdy foundation. This trifecta of luxurious detailing creates a sophisticated and inviting dining experience.

Care Guide (Chairs)

• General Cleaning: Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the fabric and cause fading. Spot cleaning is recommended for most stains. Avoid overall washing, as it can shrink or distort the fabric.
• Spot Cleaning: Address spills promptly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can push the spill deeper into the fabric. For liquid spills, use a paper towel to soak up as much as possible before blotting.
• Gentle touch: Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the delicate fibres. 
• Use Mild Cleaning Agents: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or strong cleaning agents on velvet dining chairs to prevent fabric damage, colour fading, and texture alteration. Opt for gentle, water-based cleaning solutions and always test in a small, inconspicuous area before application to ensure compatibility.
• Occasional Vacuuming: Vacuum your velvet chairs occasionally to help remove deeper dirt, dust mites and pet hair that can accumulate in the fabric. Use the lowest suction setting on your vacuum cleaner & always vacuum in the direction of the nap to avoid damaging the fibres and pay extra attention to the seams and crevices where dirt can accumulate.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Table Shape: For long rooms and open spaces, rectangular or oval tables often are the most natural fit, maximising space utilisation and creating a balanced look. Round or square tables can also work if you want to leave extra room for additional furniture pieces to complement your dining area. For smaller dining areas, round or square tables are often the ideal choice, promoting conversation and creating a sense of intimacy.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:

Rectangular Tables

• 100cm or below: 4 people
• 110cm-170cm: 4-6 People
• 180cm-220cm: 6-8 People
• 230cm and above: 10+ People
