Considering the social rituals of dining in their design, Space
Copenhagen elected to make the tables slightly narrower than
is typical of dining furniture. This allows ample space for all
the components of a family meal, but also brings diners closer
together, enabling more intimate experiences and facilitating
conversation with a greater number of people, keeping dinner
a highly convivial affair.
The simplicity and understated elegance of its design allows the
Private Dining Table to be teamed with a wide variety of chair
typologies – from traditional dining chairs to more modern styles
of seat – making it an unusually versatile piece of furniture.
Two sizes are available, giving options for interiors of different
proportions. The sheer scale of the 320 cm variant means
that, as well as hosting grand dinners for lots of people, the
table can also be used for many activities simultaneously. This
is an especially useful feature for large households, when a
parent might want to catch up with emails on a laptop, while
older children tackle their homework and their younger siblings
engage in artwork or play.
With the existing Private Desk already suited for use as a
small dining table as well as a workstation, the new addition
mean that the Private Collection can now bring its graceful
minimalism to larger households and more dinner guests.
As with the other pieces in the Private Collection, the dining
tables are offered in two finish options: brown-black-stained
ash veneer or light-stained oak veneer. A carefully chosen mix
of milled and straight-grain ensures a coherent expression
throughout each table. These colors, coupled with the inher-
ent timelessness of the design, ensure that the Private Dining
Table complements spaces of every style, and can be teamed
with a wide array of GUBI dining chairs, as well as the other
display and storage units in the wider Private Collection.
