Description
Space Copenhagen is the designer behind the classic Moon Dining Table. The interplay between the beautiful solid oak table top and the smooth half – or full moon shaped base, with a bevelled surface, serving as structure and ornament, creates a simple yet strong identity for the design. The result is an elegant table with clear references to traditional Danish carpentry, where the tribute of marriage between design and craftsmanship is in focus.
Our Stylist Says
The Gubi Moon Elliptical is a versatile choice for a dining table, blending sculptural appeal with practical functionality. I love how its elliptical shape promotes a more inclusive dining experience, making it ideal for both intimate family meals and more social gatherings. It works well in contemporary and minimalist interiors, especially in spaces with open-plan layouts or large windows that let natural light highlight its sleek design. For styling, consider pairing it with a mix of modern and tactile chairs to add visual interest and comfort. A simple centrepiece or a runner can further accentuate its elegant form without overwhelming its clean lines. Overall, it’s a statement piece that balances form and function effortlessly.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
