Price History
Description
Far from being a shrinking violet, this sizeable contemporary dining table puts the conversation at the centre, making those meals with friends even more of an occasion. Timeless and reliable, this piece distills the modern principles of design and effortlessly fits in your home. Expertly crafted from solid oak, this large dining table features chamfered edge detail, with a central pedestal-style base, and is finished with a clear lacquer that requires minimal maintenance, and allows the natural warmth of the wood to come though. Matthew Hilton worked as an industrial designer and model maker until 1984 when he set up his own design studio/workshop. Two years later he launched a series of shelves at the Milan Furniture Fair, and in 1991 he designed the Balzac Armchair, which was embraced as a modern classic. Since then, Hilton's work has taken on a less stylistic, more functional approach. Please note: not all our ranges are on display in our shops.
Our Stylist Says
This round oak table by Matthew Hilton is a versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and Scandi-inspired interiors. I love its clean lines and natural wood finish, which add warmth and a sense of understated elegance to any dining space. It’s ideal for creating an inviting centrepiece in open-plan areas or more intimate dining rooms. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist chairs for a sleek look or adding upholstered seating for comfort and contrast. Practical tips include keeping accessories to a minimum to highlight the craftsmanship of the wood - such as a simple runner or a small bowl - and ensuring ample space around the table for ease of movement. Its timeless design ensures it will remain stylish for years to come.

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.
