Design table and chairs: love at first sight

The word table cannot exist without the word chair: the combination between the two words is as binding as that of the two furniture.

Can you imagine a room with a table but without chairs? And what about chairs without table? Don't they look like wandering entities in the most improbable rooms of your home?

Table and chairs are the two halves of the same essence: divided after the birth, forever joined in love. A love at first sight between table and chair but also between them and us as well. The first glance plays an important role, you know, but the result of this visual match comes from a structural analysis.

A perfect marriage between design tables and chairs originates from different factors; crucial elements are the materials, their visual effect, their solidity, the colours and lastly the shapes. Either contasting or matching, all these factors must fit together and at least two of them must be the same, even if the others strongly contrast.

For example, if they differ for colour and materials, they must share at least a common shape (with a round or oval table, the chairs will slightly curve on the back and on the legs); on the other hand, if shape and materials are different, the colours should homogenize, drawing on furniture accessories or shades, that offer us a great choice of nuances.

But table and chairs can also share the same features: at this point, we are talking about the two halves of the same essence anymore, but about an undivided essence! Let me explain you: if tables and chairs are chacterized by the same style, same materials, same colours, same shape, probably they will be born from the same collection, from the same designer's mind.

Performance table and Irony sled chairs by Calligaris are a perfect example: materials, wood and glossy white lacquer, the colours and shapes (linear but softned by some roundensses), combine perfectly and the harmony is guaranteed.

In spite of their "marriage", Crossroad extensible table by Calligaris and Irony chairs can join with other different furniture, without loosing their glamour: as outstanding example keep in mind Crossroad table with Irony chairs.

On the other hand, if you are looking for contrast, Barone round table by Bontempi with crossed sabre and Shark stackable chairs by Bontempi fit properly: same materials for the chromed structure, same square shape, but contrasting colours thanks to the glass table top and the upholstered chairs.

Lastly, if you prefer a strong contrast, where the unique common element between the two elements is practically imperceptible, Valentinox marble table and Margot hide leather chair by Cattelan are what you need: light and transparent glass, stainless steel and Carrara marble contrast with coloured hide leather. For an absolutely elegant mix!
