Project Brief

This dining table and chair setting has been designed to complement the Tubular Shelves.

Tubular Table: This table is made with a solid walnut top and a lacquer steel or brass frame option. The positioning of the tubular frame base allows for plenty of leg room when sitting at each end. The rolled edge and beveled corners of the tabletop compliment the tubular frame.

Tubular Chair: After the success of the Tubular Dining Table launched in Milan last year,Durie has created the dining chair to compliment. The elegant chair features a CNC mandrel bent tubular frame with 5 axis CNC machined solid timber backrest and seat with the option of leather clad armrests.

Design Challenge

We wanted to work with Walnut timber and RIVA 1920 were interested in our design for a dining setting.

Sustainability

We love working with timber as it feels alive. Wood is a renewable resource but there is not an infinite supply. We believe in responsible use and RIVA 1920 collections are all made using materials from America. The walnut is from forestry plantations. This means that each time a tree is cut down to produce Riva furniture, others are planted in its place, such that the circle of life is not interrupted and that nature gets back what it has given. Using reforestation woods means living in the present but thinking about the future we are creating.
