Description
Design. A minimalist piece with elegant design details, the Kora dining table makes everyday mealtimes all the more enjoyable. Built from solid Sheesham wood with a beautifully natural finish, it is durable, timeless and full of character. The table top’s bevelled edges give an angular look that echoes the slim, splayed legs and provides added dimension. Brass tips at the feet deliver a final flourish of style. Smooth and sophisticated, the Kora brings grown-up glamour to any dining room. Pair with the matching sideboard for an extra harmonised feel.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Kora dining table for its clean, minimalist design and rich Sheesham wood finish, which adds warmth and character to any dining space. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandi interiors, where natural materials are celebrated, but it can also be a striking feature in more eclectic or rustic settings. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with simple, modern chairs for a streamlined look, or mix and match with vintage or textured seating for a more layered aesthetic. Practical tips include keeping the surface clear with chic placemats or a centrepiece to highlight the beautiful wood grain, while using a protective coating to maintain its finish over time. Overall, it’s a versatile piece that combines natural beauty with functional appeal.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
