Introducing Dine
Dine is a beautiful, clever, and sustainable dining table designed for the heart of the home. Dine’s material selection allows the product to age gracefully and last a lifetime. It is designed to be assembled within minutes and with as little fuss as possible. Dine uses a minimal amount of material to deliver an incredibly strong and durable table with the lightest touch on the environment.

A silent hero.
It was essential for Dine to have a unique character but still sit quietly within a room. Dine's minimal frame allows it to be paired with a wide range of products and let them shine. The result is a pure and simple form with a visual character that is defined by its function. To accommodate a variety of interiors, Dine is available in two sizes: a medium size 4–6-seater and a large 6–8-seater. Dine comes in two frame colours and can be paired with four different tabletop finishes. Dine is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled using the least fasteners to ensure a great user experience.

Designed for life.
The materials used in Dine are considered so the table can last a lifetime. The materials offer a rich, natural texture and create a warm and inviting centre point to the home. It is designed to be easily disassembled, making sure it can move easily from home to home. Additionally, it is designed and engineered to surpass the toughest commercial and stability standards. Dine evolved through rigorous prototyping and testing in the Formway lab in Wellington. The design process moved between theory, computer simulation and real-world building and testing to prove the idea and ensure the product fits our lives.


Considered material, considered application.

Dine is designed to use as little material as possible and flat pack to ensure efficient packaging and minimise the shipping footprint.
Dine is made from trees and scrap metal using only consciously sourced FSC certified timber and recycled aluminium predominantly made from domestic waste like old alloy wheels and transmission cables.


Made in Aotearoa

Dine is proudly manufactured in Aotearoa; each tabletop is handcrafted and paired with an extruded and cast aluminium frame made locally using 82% renewable energy.
