Guides from the workshop
We build furniture by hand, and the same questions keep coming up: how big should a round dining table be? How high should the hooks go? Will the colour last? Here are the answers, written in our Copenhagen workshop.
How big should a round dining table be? For four, 110 to 120 cm; for six, 120 to 140 cm; for eight, 150 to 160 cm. Seats per diameter, the space you need around it, round versus square, with a size table and FAQ.
