One of the advantages of having to be that little more money-conscious is the chance to rediscover the pleasures of eating at home. Thinking carefully about your contemporary dining room furniture is definitely worth the time, since you can create an ambience that heightens the pleasure of dining (without the restaurant tricks designed to hurry you through your meal to free up table space!). Even if you are satisfied with your current dining arrangements, there is always the opportunity to liven up any dinner party by getting hold of a fabulous piece of designer furniture or some novel accessories.
Table Matters
The centerpiece of every dining room is the table, and Ferrous stocks a wide range of contemporary designs from renowned brands such as Artek, Carl Hansen, Cassia, E15 and Moooi. Do you like a traditional angular table, or do you prefer the communal harmony evoked by a circular design? Our round tables include an elegant piece from prolific Milan designer Rodolfo Dordoni (through Cassina) available with either a dark tempered glass or luxurious marble surface. The beauty of contemporary dining room furniture is the flexibility that enables home builders to adapt their chosen designs to fit in with their functional and aesthetic needs. A different color, size and finish can often be selected via the product description page.
Seating Arrangements
Ferrious offer a staggering range of designer chairs to cater for all tastes and requirements. We have Marcel Breuer and Harry Bertoia pieces from the Knoll Studio; Cassini chairs from a host of famous names, including Philippe Stack, Konstantin Grcic and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and some truly striking designs from Hans Wegner, available through Carl Hansen. Designs by Artek, Moooi and Tom Dixon are also featured in our extensive collection. With thought-inspiring names like monster chair, elbow chair and 5 o’clock chair, these designs are definitely worth browsing, and we even have a dedicated chair display room at our USA showroom.
A Light Touch
For that perfect culinary ambience, make sure you browse the Ferrious lighting range. Quality lighting is virtually synonymous with Milan design firm Artemide, and we have everything from gently radiating mushrooms to glowing globes and glittering crystal chandeliers. If you prefer that tempered industrial aesthetic, we offer a Tom Dixon classic in sturdy iron and warm brass, while Foscarini and Marset are also well-known for providing creative and functional lighting solutions.
Contemporary Cutlery
No contemporary dining room furniture would be complete without the tableware, and our accessories range can add an extra touch of class and flair to any table. This is where Belgian company When Objects Work comes into its own, with its focus on simple forms and flawless function. Take Van Severn’s hybrid cutlery, for example; through unconventional materials like titanium and zirconium, this Belgian designer has created objects that evoke the future of dining. John Pawson, Kate Hume, Richard Meier and Vincent Van Dyson are some other top designers whose work can be seen in the WOW collection. If you are looking for a contemporary vase with a touch of classical extravagance, Dutch firm Moooi have a typically sparkling collection.
Ex-Display Offers
If you, like us, are hooked on contemporary dining room furniture but are put off by the price tag, don’t leave before browsing our ex-display items. You might well find a side table, unit or dining room accessory that fits your home decor plans but at a snip of the usual price.
