A dining table is so much more than a piece of furniture: it’s a place for gathering, for sharing, for expressing care in deeply tangible ways, through conversation and through food. The design of a table, then, must facilitate all of these things—and that’s where KING comes in.
The premium furniture brand—founded in 1977 by David and Gwen King—puts the focus on fine craftsmanship, innovation and practical elegance. The KING journey began when its founders designed a set of modular foam sofas, which quickly amassed a following after they started selling them at Sydney’s Paddy’s Markets. Now, decades on, and with a wealth of design knowledge behind the brand, KING’s latest dining collection takes those founding principles and translates them to a bold, new series focussed on the act of coming together.
The rounded edges of the Issho Dining Table perfectly complement the Amara Dining Chairs.
With its minimal hues and sleek lines, the KING Dining Collection is centred around facilitating experiences and sinking into special moments, with tables, chairs and sideboards created to maximise harmony. Take the Issho Dining Table, with its curved pillars and softly rounded edges, which injects a calm sensibility into a home.
Issho means “together” in Japanese, making the Issho Dining Table the ideal place to gather with friends and family.
Its minimal elegance makes it the perfect anchor for a family dining space, leaving room for the meals and the conversations around the table to shine. This, too, is true of the Amara Dining Chair where centuries of woodworking traditions are realised in its gently curved back, but brought into a contemporary moment with the addition of modern comfort engineering.
With premium timber finishes, the Issho Dining Table matches perfectly with chairs from the Dining Collection.
Cleaning is also simple and stress-free: KING tailored covers are easily removable for professional cleaning, or replaceable for a brand new look. Particularly during the festive season, when many people and variables are involved, entertaining can feel like an effort—but there’s no reason to let your furniture add to the burden.
The Quay Ceramic Dining Table is paired with the Luna Outdoor Dining Chair.
If your style skews more modern, angular, structural shapes also shine in the KING Collection: the Quay Ceramic Dining Table is simple, sleek, yet grounded in tradition. It’s complemented by the Luna Outdoor Dining Chair, with its wire frame and clean design and curved structure.
Both the Quay Ceramic Dining Table and the Luna Outdoor Dining Chair are finished with KingCote® protection to help withstand the harshest weather.
Comfort is a preoccupation of the KING Collection, and rightly so: letting go and sinking into a conversation over the dining table necessitates it. When sharing meals over the table, you shouldn’t be thinking about how much your lower back could do with some bracing—only enjoying the moment.
To that end, the KING engineered steel frame fused with the brand’s signature Postureflex® Seating System delivers the secure ease and support required to sit back and let the night go on, and on. The Tuscany Chair, with its plush finish and layers of internal suspension, is designed to sit back in for hours, allowing the conversation to wander and more wine to pour.
Available in two colours, the hand-finished ceramic top of the Quay Ceramic Dining Table is UV stable and stain resistant.
As homewares become more trend-focussed than ever, there’s something refreshing about pieces designed with longevity in mind, with a focus on the future. The KING Collection, with its simple lines and timeless appeal, fits neatly into that category. For pieces both inspired by, and designed to facilitate, special moments—which will continue to do so well into the future—look to KING.
