Price History
Description
Made predominantly from solid American white oak, Calia has a wire-brushed, distressed finish that offers a rustic look and tactile feel, making the most of the beautiful natural grain.;This rough-and-ready appearance is enhanced on the dining table with the inclusion of a welded iron base, giving an industrial, vintage edge.
Our Stylist Says
I love this dining table for its blend of natural oak warmth and industrial steel legs, making it a versatile piece that can suit both contemporary and rustic interiors. It's a great statement for open-plan kitchens or dining rooms where a sturdy, sizeable table is essential for gatherings. Styling tip: pair it with neutral-toned upholstery or statement chairs in textured fabrics to add visual interest while maintaining a cohesive look. To keep it looking its best, consider a matte protective finish to minimise scratches and heat marks from everyday use. This table works well with both minimalist settings and layered textures, making it a highly adaptable piece for various interior styles.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
