PORTRAIT: CAPSULE INGOT DINING TABLE

The latest addition to our dining table collection; designed and handcrafted here in Yorkshire, using sustainably sourced English Elm.

A time when interiors were a celebration of material and craftsmanship, often utilising scale and proportion to challenge perceptions of conventional interiors.
