A set of small round tables in which the presence of metal combined with other materials recalls the large metal greenhouses of the Victorian age present in the Kew Botanical Gardens. The apparently simple metal frame conceals small structural refinements such as the slightly inclined four-ray base that conceals the built-in feet.
The central plinth, into which the top is inserted, is cone-shaped. The table top is thick and consists of two different materials.
The surface can be made of marble or wood while the slightly flared side rim is always made of leather.
The tables come in two sizes: 50 and 70 cm for the diameter, and in different heights, 50 cm and 63 cm, so that they can be partially superimposed.
Kew is the perfect companion for the Kensington series but it can also be combined with any upholstered chair or sofa.
"Today an object goes beyond the collection concept, it defines an atmosphere, style and an environment where you feel comfortable." - Rodolfo Dordoni
Rodolfo Dordoni, architect and designer, was born in Milan, where he graduated in Architecture. His collaboration with Molteni&C has gone beyond the production of individual products and has become the creation of a collection for the dining room and night systems. These projects feature hidden high-technology in the products.
For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment.
How do we achieve this?
We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.
What is great quality?
We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
