Concrete tables hold a singular place in contemporary dining furniture. Raw in appearance yet precise in execution, they bring an architectural character few other materials can claim. This collection brings together 30 carefully selected designs, from compact tops to generous, sociable surfaces, for interiors that fully embrace their aesthetic stance. Worked with care, concrete reveals nuances of texture and tone that make every piece an object in its own right. Explore our full Tables department to look beyond concrete, or browse the HAY Tables for a complementary take on contemporary design furniture.
Concrete has become a material of choice for the dining table, answering a desire for authenticity and longevity in contemporary interiors. Its visual density sits naturally alongside minimalist or industrial settings, as well as far warmer ones, where it creates an unexpected counterpoint. The designs on offer vary in format, rectangular, square or oval, and in surface finish, polished, brushed or pigmented, providing a broad palette to suit any project. Some pieces rest on black metal or solid wood legs, tempering the severity of the top and introducing an appealing tension between materials. To add colourful accents to your space, the Blue Tables offer a bold selection, while the Normann Copenhagen Tables show how Scandinavian design handles the relationship between form and material.
These tables work just as well in a main dining room as in a workspace conceived as a living area. Their sturdiness makes them suited to intensive daily use, and their assertive character invites pairing with lighter chairs, in pale wood, plastic or rattan, to balance the visual composition. Lovers of eclectic interiors will happily combine them with graphic lighting or soft textiles to soften the overall effect. To explore other formal worlds around the table, the Kartell Tables offer a radically different perspective, between transparency and colour.
