The Dining table GLORIA black veined stoneware 200 × 100 cm KARE Design turns the dining area into a bold, graphic focal point. Its long rectangular top comfortably hosts family dinners, work sessions or festive evenings, whether in a dedicated dining room or at the heart of an open-plan living space. The dark stoneware, animated by subtle veins, evokes honed stone slabs and immediately grounds the room. Beneath, the base becomes a striking sculpture: sweeping metal loops cross and intersect, forming an architectural X that draws the eye from every angle. Despite its presence, the open structure keeps the table visually light so the room still feels spacious. Positioned parallel to a window wall or aligned under a statement pendant, the GLORIA table naturally claims centre stage, creating a place where daily routines and special occasions alike find their spot around the same generous surface.
The GLORIA dining table stands out through the tension between its dark, mineral top and its expressive metal base. The 200 × 100 cm rectangular surface offers generous proportions, with a continuous, almost monolithic plane of black stoneware. Fine lighter veins travel across the top, breaking up the darkness and adding subtle movement, like natural stone. Below, broad lacquered metal bands curve into looping shapes that cross at the centre, creating a dynamic X-form. This sculptural base shifts appearance as you walk around the table, revealing new lines and negative spaces. The interplay between the solid-looking top and the airy structure beneath keeps the overall silhouette balanced rather than heavy. From the side, the low profile of the top allows the base to remain clearly visible, making the table as interesting when not in use as when fully set for a meal.
At 200 × 100 cm, the GLORIA table is ideal for medium to large rooms where it can breathe and be viewed from several angles. Allow enough clearance on all sides so chairs slide back comfortably and circulation stays fluid. In open-plan layouts, align the table with the sofa or perpendicular to a kitchen island to visually zone eating and lounging areas. Because the base is so sculptural, avoid pushing one end tight against a wall; let the curves remain visible. A simple rectangular rug, slightly larger than the tabletop, will frame the set without competing with the stoneware pattern. Combine with slender, metal-legged chairs to echo the base, or mix in upholstered end chairs to soften the ensemble. Placed under a linear pendant or a cluster of small lights, the table’s dark top becomes a dramatic stage for glass, ceramics and seasonal foliage.
To build lasting harmony around the GLORIA table, take its key elements—black veined stoneware and lacquered metal—as your guiding thread. Surround this strong duo with calmer companions: oak or ash-toned wood for sideboards, shelves or chair frames, and soft neutrals like stone, taupe and warm white on surrounding walls and textiles. A few deliberate black accents on lighting, picture frames or chair legs will echo the table and tie the room together without overloading it. Over time, you can refresh the rug, dining chairs or table decorations while keeping within this mineral, graphic palette. The table’s sculptural base and dark top will continue to anchor new pieces, whether you introduce coloured glassware, textured ceramics or linen runners. This approach ensures the dining area can evolve with changing tastes yet remain visually coherent around this statement centrepiece.
