Festive tables

Our design tips for creating a festive, refined dining room

“The enemy of a successful design scheme, explains Nathalie Koudrine, director of the accessories collections at Ligne Roset, is the total look.” Her tip? Play with contrasts.

Hashira, dining table in walnut with black-stained ash base, by Alain Gilles.

Tadao, metal-based chairs, by Éric Jourdan.

Doro, 5 cable suspended light.

Everywhere, lacquered sideboard, colour make-up, cuivre and brique, by Chrisitan Werner.

Demi-teintes, mirror by Marie C Dorner.

Garancia, hand-tufted rug in New Zealand wool, by Marie-Aurore Stiker-Métral.

Architectural, vases in lacquered stainless steel, colour rouge, orange and beige rosé, by Matthias Stendberg.

Kotori, decorative bird in walnut, by Marie C Dorner.

Ellipso, gloss lacquered tray, colour carmin, by Barbara Kühne.

And the festive season demands that we make the very best of our accessories! Colours, materials, textures, lighting, pieces which are eye-catching, funny or quirky: she gives us her tips for creating a festive, refined ambience in your dining room.

Odessa, dining table by Mauro Lipparini.

TV, chair in Diva leather, colour fudge, by Pierre Paulin.

Bottle, stool in blackstained solid mango-wood, by Jacques Ducru.

Dalva, vases in moulded porcelain by Benjamin Graindorge.

Nef, suspended light by Benjamin Graindorge.

Quadrature, hand-woven rug, by Marie C Dorner.

The idea? To play with sombre seasonal tones, which you then lift with touches of gold, amber or alabaster, like little points of sparkling, joyful light. The furniture, the masterpiece, sets the tone: black or dark natural woods for the table, upholstery in brown or camel leather for the seats.

Faces, pot stand in marble, by Studio Shulab.

Alba, candle lamps in mouth-blown glass.

Then one creates resonances, vibrations with a light or glowing rug to set the scene. Lighting is important, to bathe everything in soft light. Then invite a few touches of gold or amber to the table, with small candelabras or candle lamps. Have fun with some small sculptural pieces which are just a little bit quirky, trays, etc, which set the tone for a delicious shared meal.

Camma, dining table with heat treated oak veneered top, colour brun, by Marie C Dorner.

Fake, chest with hand-painted imitation marble motif, by Barbara Kühne.

Nathalie Koudrine’s quirky tips

Show vases or other decorative objects to best effect by grouping them in threes, or hang a very graphic grey rug on the wall, like a work of art.
