Diderot Dining Table

The Diderot Dining Table arrives as one of those rare pieces that manages to feel both scholarly and warm — a round form in Khaya wood finished with Cerejeira veneer whose figured grain lends the surface an almost luminous quality. At sixty-four inches across, it commands a room without imposing upon it, the generous diameter encouraging the kind of unhurried conversation that good dining furniture quietly facilitates. From Theodore Alexander's Brooksby collection, it carries the measured authority of a classic silhouette refined rather than merely repeated.
