Shoreditch Oval Travertine Dining Table 270cm – Ash Veneer Base

The Shoreditch Oval Travertine Dining Table is distinguished by its expansive natural stone top and sculptural dark wood base. The pale beige travertine has a gently layered appearance, with fine linear markings and tonal variations extending across the oval surface. Beneath it, a broad pedestal finished in dark ash veneer features a generous curved opening, creating a striking contrast between the light stone and richly grained timber.

Measuring 270cm long and 120cm wide, Shoreditch is a large oval travertine dining table designed for spacious dining rooms and open-plan living areas. Its substantial proportions allow the natural materials and architectural form to become central features of the interior, while the softly rounded outline introduces a gentler alternative to a conventional rectangular dining table.

Natural travertine with warm beige tones

The oval tabletop is made from travertine, a natural limestone recognised for its distinctive texture, layered markings and subtle variations in colour. Shoreditch features a predominantly pale beige and cream palette, with gently shifting tones that become more apparent across the large stone surface.

The broad tabletop measures 270 × 120cm, providing generous space for individual place settings, serving dishes and a central arrangement of decorative objects. Its rounded ends soften the overall silhouette and create a more fluid relationship with the surrounding seating.

The edge of the tabletop reveals the characteristic texture of travertine, including the small pores and irregularities associated with the stone. This detail gives the table a tactile, material-led appearance and distinguishes it from surfaces designed merely to imitate natural stone.

As travertine is a natural material, variations in veining, colour, texture and porosity are to be expected. These individual characteristics form part of the appearance of each stone top.

A sculptural pedestal with dark ash veneer

The base is constructed from MDF with an ash veneer finish in a deep brown tone. Its visible wood grain provides a warm contrast to the pale travertine, while the broad, softly curved structure establishes a substantial architectural presence beneath the tabletop.

The defining feature of the pedestal is its large arch-shaped opening. Rather than forming a completely solid block, the base incorporates an open central section that allows light and surrounding space to remain visible through the structure.

The curved profile of the opening echoes the rounded outline of the tabletop, establishing a visual connection between the two elements. Viewed from different angles, the pedestal reveals changes in shape and depth, making the base an important part of the table's appearance.

The dark ash veneer introduces the natural character of wood without competing with the more varied texture of the stone. Together, the materials create a balanced contrast that works particularly well with neutral upholstery, stone flooring and understated architectural finishes.

A large oval dining table for eight to ten people

At 270cm long, Shoreditch offers proportions suitable for approximately eight to ten diners, depending on the width of the chairs, their armrests and the preferred spacing between place settings. The 120cm width provides room for serving dishes and a central decorative arrangement while retaining space for dining.

The oval outline makes the table particularly appealing for entertaining. Its rounded ends allow the seating arrangement to follow a continuous curve, while the elongated shape creates a generous central surface for shared meals.

The pedestal construction avoids the appearance of four conventional corner legs, allowing more flexibility when arranging chairs around the table. The precise legroom available will depend on the position of each chair relative to the broad central base.

In an open-plan home, Shoreditch can establish a distinct dining area between the kitchen and living space. Its pale stone surface introduces a broad horizontal element, while the darker pedestal provides a visual anchor beneath it.

For a balanced arrangement, allow adequate circulation space around the table and sufficient room to move the dining chairs comfortably. Keeping the curved pedestal visible from at least one main viewpoint also allows its architectural form to become part of the room's design.

Which interior styles suit the Shoreditch dining table?

Contemporary interiors provide a natural setting for Shoreditch. The oval stone surface complements clean architectural lines, while the dark ash veneer base introduces depth alongside neutral upholstered seating and modern lighting.

Organic modern interiors benefit from its natural materials and flowing shapes. Travertine pairs particularly well with linen, textured wool, ceramics and softly curved furniture, while the warm timber finish adds a deeper colour to an otherwise pale scheme.

Modern classic dining rooms offer an interesting contrast between traditional architectural details and the sculptural pedestal. Decorative wall mouldings, substantial upholstered chairs and carefully selected pendant lighting provide a composed setting for the table's contemporary form.

Minimalist interiors can use Shoreditch as the principal furniture piece within the dining area. Its stone top and shaped base provide sufficient visual interest without requiring elaborate surrounding decoration.

Styling Shoreditch in a considered dining room

The scale of the Shoreditch table lends itself to a generous seating arrangement. Cream or taupe upholstered dining chairs create a gentle transition from the pale travertine surface, while darker timber or brown leather seating introduces a stronger contrast.

Above the table, a wide pendant light or a carefully proportioned arrangement of smaller fittings can help define the dining area. A restrained lighting design allows the natural stone and curved pedestal to remain visually prominent.

For tabletop styling, a low stone bowl, ceramic vessel or arrangement of branches can complement the travertine without concealing too much of its surface. The stone's natural pattern provides interest in its own right, making extensive decoration unnecessary.

Shoreditch is particularly effective in rooms with large windows, pale plaster walls, natural stone flooring or dark timber cabinetry. The combination of materials allows the table to connect different elements of the interior while retaining a strong individual identity.

Caring for your travertine dining table

Travertine is a natural limestone and requires care appropriate to a calcium-based stone. For regular cleaning, use a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner suitable for natural stone.

Wipe away spills promptly, especially wine, coffee, citrus juices and acidic substances that may affect the stone surface. Avoid vinegar, acidic cleaning products, abrasive pads and harsh household detergents.

Use coasters, placemats and heat-resistant mats to help protect the tabletop during everyday dining. The ash veneer base should be cleaned gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dried without delay, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture.
