High tables

High kitchen tables: Modern functionality and vertical style

High kitchen tables have become a modern, versatile, and functional solution for those who want to optimize space and add a touch of contemporary design to their home. Their elevated structure makes it easy to create practical nooks for breakfast, working from home, or enjoying informal snacks, transforming the kitchen or dining room into a more dynamic and social space. Buying a high table means investing in furniture that plays with visual levels, helping you make the most of every square meter.

Today you can choose from a wide variety of models to suit any space: from a folding high table , perfect for narrow kitchens, to a sturdy high dining table , ideal for dividing spaces in open-plan layouts. You'll also find bright options like white high tables, warm designs in natural wood, or cutting-edge, industrial styles. Whatever your choice, these tables offer a practical way to gain usable space without overwhelming the room.

Benefits and key features

High tables stand out for their enormous versatility, making them the perfect meeting point for both everyday use and social gatherings. Their elevated design allows for a more active and comfortable posture (even standing), while also enhancing the feeling of spaciousness in small spaces by allowing light to filter underneath. Furthermore, they are the natural complement to designer stools, creating visually striking ensembles.

In terms of design, a round high table brings softness and visual flow, eliminating sharp corners in walkways; a rectangular high table maximizes surface area for eating; while a black high table adds elegance and sophistication. If you're looking for outdoor durability, the treated options are ideal for transforming a balcony into a veranda.

• High durability: Made with robust materials such as treated wood, steel or easy-to-clean melamine surfaces.
• Exclusive design: Models that adapt to modern, industrial, Nordic or minimalist styles.
• Easy maintenance: Surfaces designed for intensive use and quick cleaning.

What type of high table should I choose?

Choosing the ideal model will depend on the size of your room and its primary use. If you need a lightweight side table, a small bar table is the best option. For those seeking a more sophisticated style, wood adds warmth, while metal offers a timeless, urban character.

Tips for choosing the perfect high table

• Consider the space: If your kitchen is small, opt for compact models or bars attached to the wall.
• Calculate the height: The table should be in proportion to the stools (leave about 25-30 cm between the seat and the tabletop).
• Prioritize materials: If you're going to use it for cooking and eating, look for surfaces that are resistant to stains and cuts.
• Visual coherence: Select styles that complement the rest of the furniture in the kitchen or living room.
