Calligaris: Luxury Dining Room Furniture for the Ultimate Dinner Party

For 21st century living, many of us now choose to eat our everyday meals in our open plan kitchen-diners, but that doesn’t mean that the traditional dining room should become obsolete. A formal dining room is ideal for special occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas and dinner parties. While more casual get togethers are ideal for the kitchen-diner, everybody likes to go the extra mile from time to time, making gatherings extra special by hosting them in the more formal dining room.

Dining room design doesn’t have to be traditional and stuffy though. It’s possible to create a sophisticated and intimate dining space using contemporary design and furniture.
Here’s a small collection of striking dining tables by luxury designer furniture brand Calligaris, as well as dining chairs to complete the look, so that you can create the ultimate modern luxury dining room…
