From 2 to 12 people: Dining tables with style and flavour
The dining table is the centrepiece of every home. Whether in the kitchen or in a separate dining room - it's not just a place to eat, but also to chat, plan and sometimes even play. Before buying your ideal dining table, you should first be clear about your individual requirements - number of people, space in the home, preferred size and design ideas. You can experience our large selection of dining tables in our online shop or directly in our shop in Berlin.
Tip: The ideal size of your dining table depends on its future location. Determine the dimensions directly in the intended room. To get a better feel for the dimensions, you can also lay out your desired size on the floor with newspaper. This will help you visualise the final size of the dining table. Also bear in mind that the surrounding chairs will still need some space. You can find out more about planning your customised table at the bottom of this page.
These frames are fantasTable
Once you have determined the dimensions of your dining table, it's time to decide on the style of your future favourite place. With the M and Y table series, Modulor offers you an almost unlimited choice of options. Both series are characterised by a stable frame. The table top is screwed to the table frame. With the frame from the E2 series, it can optionally be fixed with special table top connectors or simply placed on the frame. This offers additional flexibility.
Stable with style: the Y frame
The Y series table frame has style built right in. The table legs tilt slightly inwards. This not only gives the table a retro charm, but also makes your dining table particularly stable. The protruding table top almost seems to float above the frame. This makes a large dining table in particular appear graceful and light. Whether rectangular or square, you have a choice of sizes from at least 80 cm wide up to 275 cm long. This is suitable for everything from an inviting dining area in a mini kitchen to an expansive table in a dining room. A dining table from the Y series is always a unique piece, as you determine the colour, materials and shape individually. In addition to the colour of the top, you choose the edge finish and the shape, material and colour of the legs.
One table, many looks: the Y dining table is so versatile
For fans of the Scandi style, we recommend the Y frame with light-coloured real wood legs. The white melamine top with real wood edging exudes Scandinavian flair. Hygge for your dining area.
M for "minimalist": the M frame
The M table frame requires minimum space with maximum seating comfort. This is due to the table legs, which are straight at the outer corners. This allows this dining table to be positioned in the room to save space. At the same time, the arrangement of the table legs offers maximum space for your chairs. This linear design also looks elegant in large rooms. From a minimum size of 30 x 30 cm to a maximum of 200 x 200 cm, there are no limits. The metal frame is available in 10 colours and matches the look of your dining area. With additional castors, you can even make the M dining table mobile.
The design classic: the E2 frame
Many people know it as a desk base, but the E2 frame - based on the well-known design by Egon Eiermann - also cuts a fine figure as a dining table. With its cross struts, the E2 table frame creates a delicate, elegant impression. The central cross strut provides legroom.
For table tops of 160 cm or more, we recommend using table top reinforcements for your dining table. These provide additional stability and can be screwed to the table top if required. You decide the colour and type of table top and the frame colour yourself.
In the truest sense: the S table as a dining table
The tables in the S series are unbeatable as compact space savers. With just one central column instead of four legs, they fit into even the smallest dining area. Despite its space-saving design, the S table has great presence. This is due to its variety of colours and shapes. You decide for yourself whether you want to design your (Es)S table tone-on-tone or whether you want to contrast the colour of the top, column and base. Both round and square tops and legs are available for a dining table from the S series. You can set further accents with the material of the table top and the edge finish.
A word on determining the right dining table size
For the ideal dining table dimensions for your room, calculate 60 cm in width and 40 cm in depth per person who wants to sit at your table. Do you want to invite more people or have more space on your table? Simply add 20 cm to the width. This makes it easy to find the right size for your individual needs.
Small dining area
Even in small rooms, there is room for a cosy and practical dining area. Our M table frame series is space-saving and ideal for small kitchens. It is ideal for smaller formats and is freely configurable.
The following variants are particularly compact:
Large table
Our Y table frame is recommended for socialising at a large dining table. With this system, tables up to 320 cm long can be built and all guests can sit together in a relaxed atmosphere as the table legs are slightly indented. This is ideal for larger tables or extended games evenings.
Examples of your dining table dimensions (10 people):
Table tops that can withstand anything
Linoleum table tops
... are ideal for your dining area. The material inhibits the growth of bacteria and even oils and fats cannot harm it. Because linoleum is also heat-resistant up to 70 °C for short periods, you can easily place a hot coffee cup on the table top. Reassuring additional information: The material can be categorised in fire protection class C-fl, meaning it is only flame-retardant to normal.
Melamine table tops
... are inexpensive, but solid and robust. Even an afternoon of crafting at the dining table won't harm your melamine table top. After use, it can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth and ordinary cleaning agents. However, you should avoid scratchy sponges when cleaning.
HPL table tops
... were pressed under high pressure and can easily withstand the daily use of your dining area. If you place hot objects on coasters and remove spillages as quickly as possible with a mild cleaning agent and a cloth, the HPL table top will be a long-lasting companion.
Solid wood table tops
... are natural one-offs and are considered to be particularly valuable and timeless. Our solid wood table tops consist of continuous slats. This means that elongated pieces of wood (slats) are glued together over their entire length. This gives these solid wood table tops a particularly elegant look. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Your solid wood table top will stay beautiful for longer if you oil it regularly.
