The Capucin dining table by Terence Conran, introduced in 1997, pairs a substantial wooden base with a distinctive zinc top. This piece reflects the late 1990s shift towards industrial yet refined domestic furniture, offering a straightforward and functional design characteristic of Conran's approach to modern living.
Constructed with a solid wood trestle-style base featuring visible joinery, the table highlights its craftsmanship. The rectangular top is clad in zinc, chosen for its durability and unique aging process. The contrast between the warm tones of the wood and the cool, grey metallic surface creates a striking visual balance. The zinc top has developed a natural patina, adding depth to the piece, while the wooden base remains structurally sound with its original finish.
Well-suited for a dining room or large kitchen, this table anchors the space with its substantial presence. It pairs effectively with both contemporary and vintage seating, fitting seamlessly into industrial, rustic, or eclectic interior styles.
I bought it in Conrad shop in London.
