The Interior Lovers

An ode to the humble dining table.

Sam Grigg and Naomi Scott-Dunne

Welcome back to The Design Lovers Podcast!
In this episode we talk all things dining:  tables, chairs and eating routines.  The origins of dining tables, communal table arrangements and some stats about how many people eat at a dining room table. 

We discuss different shapes of tables: Naomi has the Aero Saarinen marble tulip table, and Sam has a G-Plan wooden classic; practicality of size and shape matters. 

Eclectic seating, benches, and other seating are debated.  Multi-purpose usage, table cloths, linen napkins, table protectors (yes they were a thing!) and ambient lighting are all discussed.  Outdoor dining options are also covered.
