Janice Dining Table

A round pedestal dining table from Four Hands, cast in solid concrete and finished with a water transfer pattern that gives the surface the look and touch of travertine. The top rests on a single contoured base instead of legs, so chairs slide in from any side and nobody gets stuck with the corner. Graining varies from table to table, which means yours will not match any other. Leveling feet under the base keep it steady on floors that are not quite flat.

Travertine is the stone of Roman fountains and mid-century lobbies, and this table borrows its warm, streaked surface without the upkeep of the real thing. The finish comes in a sand tone with soft horizontal striations and in a paler, chalkier concrete with more texture underfoot, so it reads as sculptural rather than industrial. It sits comfortably with cane or rattan chairs, bouclé seats, dark wood, and plaster walls.

Set it in a dining room, a breakfast nook, or a sunroom where the base can anchor the space. It is built for indoor or outdoor use, so it can move to a patio in good weather, then be covered or brought inside when rain comes and when it is not in use. Concrete is heavy, so choose its spot with care before the first dinner.
