The Elko Dining Table pairs natural teak with a Portland ceramic top for a balanced, modern outdoor setting. Its sleek yet sturdy frame offers warmth and stability, while the ceramic surface provides a practical, low-maintenance finish designed to withstand the elements. Built to seat six to eight guests, Elko is made for relaxed evenings outdoors. Pair with coordinating teak seating, such as the Fika Dining Chair, for a cohesive dining arrangement. Solid teak frame offers durability, natural warmth and long-lasting outdoor performance. Portland ceramic tabletop provides a hard-wearing, easy-care surface ideal for everyday outdoor dining.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Vincent Sheppard Elko table for its clean, simple lines and natural material palette, making it versatile for a range of outdoor settings. It works particularly well in contemporary gardens, Scandinavian-inspired schemes, or even pared-back traditional spaces where a touch of organic warmth is needed. When styling, consider pairing it with tapered wooden chairs or modern outdoor armchairs to highlight its understated elegance. Practical tips include using a protective covering in winter to preserve the wood and mixing in colourful cushions and tableware for a lively outdoor dining setup. Its sturdy yet elegant design makes it a reliable and stylish focal point for alfresco gatherings.

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.
