Florent Extension Dining Table

The Florent from Four Hands is an oak dining table built around a heavy cylindrical base, with a thick top that reads as one sculpted slab. Solid oak forms the structure and oak veneer covers the surface, finished in a warm amber tone that lets the grain show. An insert leaf extends the top when the guest list grows, and the table is substantial enough to anchor a room even when it is closed.

The round forms soften an otherwise rectangular silhouette, so the table feels architectural without turning severe. It sits comfortably between rustic and modern, and the amber finish pairs well with upholstered dining chairs, woven seats, linen runners, and heavy stoneware. Dark metal lighting overhead or a plaster-toned wall behind it makes the wood look even warmer.

Use it as the center of a dining room for weeknight dinners, then add the leaf for holidays and long Sunday meals. The open space beneath the top leaves room for chair seats to slide in, and the cylindrical base keeps legs out of the way along the sides. In a larger kitchen or an open living area, it can also work as a worktable and gathering spot.
