Light and soft

1. Light and welcoming. A round table in BM24 Sand Light, laid for four, with pale wooden chairs. Around a round table everyone can see each other, and the soft sand colour lets the tableware and flowers speak. Ideal if you love having people round. A table of Ø 120 cm seats 4 to 6 people, Ø 140 cm seats 6 to 7.

2. Old and new. An oval table in BM28 Shitake Light between whitewashed brick walls and an old stone floor. The light, soft shape makes the contrast with the rough walls even more beautiful. Dark wooden chairs ground the scene.

Colour from nature

3. Bringing the garden in. A Swedish oval table in BM42 Olive Strong in front of a large window with pine trees. The green of the table picks up the green outside, so indoors and outdoors become one. A Swedish oval is a rectangle with large, soft corners: plenty of room, without sharp edges. At 240 x 110 cm it seats 8 people.

4. Warm red on a herringbone floor. A Finnish oval table in BM13 Brick Intense with wooden chairs. The deep brick colour warms the whole room, and the straight long sides with rounded ends give plenty of room at the table.

Deep shades

5. Industrial and warm. A Finnish oval table in BM37 Vesuvio Intense in a loft with steel windows, brick and black tubular chairs. The warm, rust-like colour softens the robust space without taking away its character.

6. Deep and sober. A Danish oval table in BM57 Makala Intense in a white room with light curtains. A dark table in a bright space makes a strong, calm picture. The Danish oval, between an oval and a rectangle, keeps it all soft.

Warm and calm

7. A table among the books. A round table in BM19 Cacao Mid in a library with oak shelves. Dining table, reading table and desk in one, in a colour as warm as the wood around it. A round table on a single central leg leaves room for your legs all the way round, even when you sit at it with your laptop.

8. Japandi in ochre. An organic table in BM09 Imperial Intense on a pale rug, with a tea set and a branch. The free shape and the ochre colour turn the table into a still point. More on this in A japandi dining table: calm at the table.

9. Playing with light. A round table in BM49 Welsh Intense, seen from above, with a circle of sunlight from a roof light. A deep green top shows off the light beautifully. The matt surface of Mortex absorbs the light rather than reflecting it.

10. Grey as a pebble. A Danish oval table in BM65 Pinctada Intense with four wooden chairs. A stone grey table next to warm wood is timeless and suits almost any floor. A Danish oval of 240 x 110 cm seats 6 to 8 people.

From idea to your table

Did a shape or a colour catch your eye? Every shape can be made in any size, and each of the 96 colours costs the same. A round table of Ø 120 cm has a guide price of €2,499, a Finnish oval table of 240 x 110 cm €3,199, including VAT. You will find every shape among our tables.

It is best to choose your colour from a real sample: a screen never shows colours quite as they are. You can order them from our colour samples page. How to find the right shade for your room is explained in How to choose the colour of your Mortex table.
