The Similda Table

With a form that implies a level of movement, this natural solid oak dining table with tempered glass table top is modern, clean and dynamic.

In her early career, designer Eugenia Minerva designed yachts – a traditional design practice that softly permeates her current work with furniture, including the Similda solid oak and glass dining table. With a form that implies a level of movement, this natural solid oak dining table with tempered glass table top is modern, clean and dynamic.

Minerva’s work is known for its juxtaposition of solid and fluid, and stark mediated by a natural warmth. The Similda dining table is glass – smooth and cool, mixed with wood, giving this modern dining table warmth.

Manufactured by European furniture leader TON, the table neatly marries functionality and style. Similda can be a child’s art workstation one afternoon, and then set for a sleek dinner party that same evening.

Similda is available through Huset

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
