Everything you want (and need!) to know about asymmetrical dining tables

So what exactly is aymmetric?

There used to be a lot less choice in terms of table shapes. Most families had an ordinary, large rectangular or round table and that was it. Nowadays, we constantly see new trends erupting, which always results in new shapes. For example, we see that asymmetrical shapes are growing and growing in popularity.

But what exactly is asymmetric? Technically, it's a shape where both halves are not equal when you divide them exactly in half. Suppose you split a circle or a square, then both parts are equal. In the case of a waterdrop, this isn't the case. In the latter case we speak of an asymmetrical shape.

What is the difference between asymmetric and organic?

If you're looking for an original piece of furniture, chances are you'll see the terms asymmetrical and organic. Organic falls under the category of asymmetric, but is a bit more specific. For example, an organic shape is a natural shape. In other words: a shape you find in nature. Think of boulders, drops, and plants.

Dimensions of an asymmetrical table

Of course, the dimensions of your new purchase are very important. And especially in the case of a different shape, it's crucial that your purchase matches your new dining room or kitchen. At Table du Sud, we sell beautiful pebble-shaped dining tables, where one part of the tabletop is clearly narrower than the other part. That's why it can be difficult to choose the right dimensions, especially in combination with the placement of your dining chairs.

But how do you handle it? In any case, it's smart to take the measurements of your old table as a basis if you're going to replace it. If you're moving to a new home, that's of course not possible. In that case, get yourself a roll of tape and measure the contours of your ideal size on the floor. Still in doubt?
