- Barrel shape brings diners closer, encouraging conversation
- Choice of wood, marble, glass or ceramic tops
- Solid Canaletta walnut base provides strength and stability
The Porada Alan Dining Table Barrel pairs sculptural walnut craftsmanship with graceful curves. Its rounded silhouette invites closer conversation and relaxed dining.
A Barrel-Shaped Silhouette
The Porada Alan Dining Table Barrel draws the eye immediately with its curved top. Gabriele & Oscar Buratti shaped the edges into a gentle, rounded profile that feels soft under the hand. Tapered ends pull diners closer together, so conversation moves easily across the surface. Around the table, chairs tuck in neatly, and the absence of corner legs means guests enjoy unrestricted legroom.
Canaletta Walnut, Shaped by Hand
The pedestal base anchors the design. Italian craftsmen work it from solid Canaletta walnut, one of the country's finest timbers, prized for its strength and rich, figured grain. Watch how the wood behaves over the years: it deepens in colour and grows warmer with use. Each Porada dining table therefore develops its own character, gaining depth that no finish can imitate.
Finishes for Every Interior
You can specify the top in wood, marble, or ceramic. Marble suits a formal dining room, catching light across its polished surface, while a wooden top brings warmth to contemporary spaces and Scandi schemes alike. Whatever you choose, the walnut base beneath pairs gracefully. Check the dimensions before ordering: allow around 90 cm of clearance for comfortable movement, and 50-60 cm of width per place setting.
A Designer's Eye at Work
The Buratti brothers approach furniture with an architect's perspective, blending buildings, interiors, and objects into one coherent vision. Because of this, the Alan settles naturally into a room rather than competing with it. It pairs well with Porada dining chairs, a Porada sideboard, or the Porada Infinity table. Made in Brianza since 1948, Porada furniture carries a reputation for longevity, and the Alan Dining Table Barrel price reflects that Italian quality in the UK.
