Flat Oval Dining Table - Custom Stadium Shape
Custom-Made Flat Oval Dining Table
A flat oval dining table – also known as a stadium-shaped or racetrack-shaped table – combines the space-saving advantages of a rectangular table with the soft elegance of rounded ends. No sharp corners, yet maximum seating space along the long sides. At Industrial Home, you can design your flat oval dining table completely custom-made. It perfectly fits the current Japandi, wabi-sabi, and slow living trends dominating contemporary Dutch interiors.
What is the difference between a flat oval and a Danish oval dining table?
A flat oval dining table has straight long sides with rounded ends – think of a stadium or a racetrack. A Danish oval dining table has a more pronounced, elongated oval shape where the long sides are also slightly curved. The flat oval shape therefore offers more seating space at the sides.
