Unique Full Dining Set
The Unique collection sits at the intersection of classic design and contemporary journal-style aesthetics. Crafted from Grade A Georgian ash with meticulous hand carving and finished with an ultra-dark smoked glass top, this dining set delivers durability, visual presence and refined detail suited to formal dining rooms and curated interiors where artistic detail matters.
Key features of the Unique full dining set
- Frame material: Main structure and legs in Grade A Georgian ash for long-term strength and fine carving workability.
- Carving and patina: Precise hand carving with pearly grey patina and brown-grey shading that emphasises the relief and classic motifs.
- Tabletop: Very dark smoked glass with a glossy, near-black appearance that creates a contemporary contrast to the patinated timber.
- Upholstery: Armless chairs use a fine-textured, matte upholstery with a linen-like feel; armchairs are finished in jacquard shawl or embossed jacquard velvet for a richer tactile and visual effect.
- Colour palette: Pearl grey, champagne-silver and patinated beige for the frames with brown-grey shadows in the carvings; fabrics in ivory-cream, shell beige and light greige for armless chairs, and bone-ivory ground with navy and petrol-blue motifs for armchairs.
ARSES expert review
Design and construction
Unique combines traditional hand carving and professional patination to celebrate woodworking craft. Grade A Georgian ash provides both structural integrity and the fine surface necessary for detailed carving. The ultra-dark smoked glass top adds a polished, modern contrast while offering ease of maintenance and stain resistance. The two upholstery choices create visual variety and preserve ergonomic comfort; jacquard armchairs introduce a luxurious, slightly historic feel.
Performance and visual impact
Built to host guests in larger dining rooms, the set turns the dining area into a composed focal point. The layered palette and textured surfaces, together with the carved ornament, add depth and a magazine-worthy presence to interiors, especially those employing accent lighting and patterned rugs.
