Designing a Space Around Your Dining Table: Creating the Perfect Dining Area with Gubi Dining Tables

The dining table is more than just a place to eat—it’s where families gather, friends socialize, and memories are made. Whether it’s a casual breakfast, an intimate dinner, or a celebration with loved ones, the dining table is central to many moments in our daily lives. Because it’s such a crucial piece of furniture, designing a space around your dining table is an essential part of creating a comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing dining area. Choosing the right dining table can be a challenge. With a variety of materials, sizes, and styles available, it's important to consider every aspect before making a decision. In Singapore, where space can often be limited, functionality and design are even more critical. The dining table should seamlessly blend into the room while providing ample space and comfort. One brand that excels in this regard is Gubi, whose elegant, stylish, and functional dining tables elevate any dining area with their refined Scandinavian design.

1. Moon Dining Table

The Moon Dining Table is made of a gorgeous rounded veneer oak table top and two half or full moon shaped bases. The key design features of the Moon Dining Tables are its bevelled surface appearing to float on top of the moon shaped columns. The table top appears to just be balancing on top of the two black lacquered or brass bases – which serves to provide both structure and adornment. This minimalist table is the perfect union of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship.

2. 2.0 Dining Table

The Gubi 2.0 Dining Table sets the scene of jubilation – of good and genuine times spent with people over dinner, meetings or laid-back socialisation. The Gubi Design team started off with an idea where circle meets circle and thus came up with the design of this simple, yet functional and modern table. The 2.0 Dining Table is made out of a circular or elliptical table top fitted on top of one or two circular plates. This minimalist table is a truly fresh and new take on the traditional round tables, utilising Gubis design sensibility and meticulous selection of raw materials.

3. Gubi Dining Table

The Gubi Dining Table from our Iconic Collection is a design classic. Forget the traditional wooden dining tables because the Gubi Dining Table revitalizes your typical Dining Table and reinvents it entirely with beautiful wooden materials and clean lines. The sleek appearance of this table is further emphasized by its unusual outward-extending legs which are slightly rounded out, giving the illusion of a lighter and fuller look.

Komplot Design, was founded by Danish architect Poul Christiansen and Russian industrial and graphic designer Boris Berlin in 1987. The studio mostly designs furniture and multidisciplinary design solutions for both Danish and international companies, including Gubi and Le Klint. This design duo believes in using materials in a natural and organic way by not forcing them to behave a certain way and letting their nature guide their design sensibilities.

Their designs for Gubi include the 2D and 3D Chair series that come in the Dining Chair, Stool and Bar stool variations. The 3D lounge chair has also since become a hallmark piece for Gubi.

Start with the Table: The Heart of the Dining Room

When designing your dining room, the table is the focal point. It’s typically the largest and most significant piece of furniture in the room, so selecting a dining table that suits both your space and style is crucial. Gubi’s collection of dining tables offers a variety of designs that can cater to any type of interior—whether you’re in a spacious, modern apartment or a compact urban home in Singapore. Gubi’s commitment to quality and design ensures that their tables are not just functional but also a statement piece in any room.

Material Matters: Choosing the Right Dining Table

When designing a space around your dining table, materials are just as important as the table itself. The material of your dining table should complement the overall design of your dining room, balancing both aesthetics and practicality. Gubi offers a range of materials for their dining tables, including wood, marble, and metal, allowing you to create a look that suits your personal style.

Consider Size and Proportions: Space Efficiency is Key

One of the most important considerations when designing a space around your dining table is the size of the table relative to your dining area. You want to ensure that the dining table fits comfortably in the room without overcrowding the space. In Singapore, where apartments and homes are often smaller, this is especially crucial. The goal is to have enough space for everyone to sit comfortably without feeling cramped.

Creating Balance: Matching and Complementing Furniture

When designing your dining room, it’s not just the table that matters—it’s how the table works with the rest of the furniture in the space. The key to a successful dining room design is balance. While it's not necessary for all the furniture to match, it is important for the dining chairs, lighting, and surrounding decor to complement the table and work in harmony with it. With Gubi’s range of dining tables, you can pair them with their equally stunning dining chairs, such as the iconic Gubi Beetle Chair. These chairs not only provide comfort but also add a sense of sophistication and style to the dining area. Pairing a Gubi dining table with the right chairs creates a cohesive and polished look that elevates the entire room. Don’t forget about the lighting either. A well-chosen chandelier or pendant light above the dining table can create a focal point that enhances the table’s design. Gubi’s lighting range, such as the Gubi Multi-Lite Pendant, can add an elegant touch to your dining area, casting the perfect glow for meals and gatherings.

Functional Considerations: Comfort and Practicality

While style is important, the functionality of your dining table is equally essential. You want to make sure the table offers a comfortable height and enough space for all the diners. Consider how many people typically sit at your table—whether it's for family meals, casual dinners with friends, or formal gatherings. The right table should allow enough room for everyone to eat, socialize, and move freely. Gubi dining tables, with their thoughtful designs, ensure that comfort and practicality are prioritized. The well-crafted proportions of their tables provide ample legroom and comfortable seating, while their elegant materials and designs ensure that the table remains a functional centerpiece of your dining room for years to come.

Designing Your Dining Room in Singapore: A Space for All Occasions

In a city like Singapore, where space is often at a premium, designing a dining area around your table can help maximize the utility of your space. Whether you’re hosting a large family meal or enjoying a quiet dinner with a loved one, Gubi dining tables offer the perfect balance of style, comfort, and practicality. Their sophisticated designs can adapt to a variety of interior styles, from minimalist to more eclectic spaces, ensuring that your dining room is as beautiful as it is functional. When designing your dining room, start with the table. Make it the centerpiece of the space and build around it—whether through complementary chairs, lighting, or decor. With Gubi’s stunning dining tables, you can create a dining area that is both elegant and inviting, perfect for every meal and every occasion.

★★★★★

Danish Design has always been my go-to place for furniture shopping. They have the most fashionable but also timeless pieces. And while some are not cheap they are made with great quality. We bought our favourite dining walnut table that is ever so timeless but also the most versatile being able to sit 6 and up to 10-12 when we extend it. It is our third time renovating and we are taking this favourite piece w us in our move… and more importantly we always get great service from danish design even after many years.
