10 Easy Pieces: White Outdoor Dining Tables - Gardenista
For the last four years I’ve been fixated on a photograph of a bare courtyard with a single, white-painted beer garden table and two potted plants. I chalk it up to the unfading appeal of a purely white palette and its potential, like a painter’s canvas, to highlight the surrounding color. Photograph via Light Locations. To start, my favorite image is a project sourced from a small courtyard in Hove, England: an old German beer garden table is whitewashed in multiple coats of paint. For a host of options to paint, see our post The Gardenista 100: Beer Garden Tables (Ikea Included). Modeled after the brand’s first outdoor pieces for Paris’ Jardin du Luxembourg, Fermob’s Luxembourg Rectangle Table is an aluminum tube frame, lacquered in white (or other color of your choice); starting at $1,217 at Y Living. Designed by Matthew Hilton for Case, the Eos Square Table (named after the Greek deity of light and dawn) is stackable and made of rust-resistant powder-coated aluminum. The í„pplaro Drop-Leaf Outdoor Table is made of eucalyptus and finished in white acrylic paint. West Elm’s Jardine Folding Bistro Table is the perfect size for two or a close group of three and a mess of cheese and summer fruit. The 1966 Collection Porcelain Dining Table, as the name suggests, was finished in 1966 by Richard Schultz after a four-year collaboration with Florence Knoll. The body of the table is constructed from powder-coated aluminum and the tabletop is porcelain enamel on steel; $2,170 at Design Within Reach. A small, round cafe-style dining is powder-coated in white, measures 28 inches in diameter, and stays put with a spoke-like base. A substantial piece of outdoor furniture, the white-painted mahogany wood Hampstead Rectangular Extending Dining Table seats from six to ten, for $999 at Pottery Barn. In the same fashion as classic Fermob furniture, Terrain’s Painted Metal Bistro Table is lightweight and suited for tight spaces; with a UV-resistant powder-coated steel; $168 for the table. Modeled after the beer garden table, Ikea’s PS 2014 Folding Table is budget-friendly at $129 and is meant for indoor-outdoor use. Restoration Hardware’s long Aegean Dining Table is inspired by Greece and made in Australia of a rustproof aluminum frame.
