We didn’t want another dining set that looked like everyone else’s. Chairs felt… predictable. We wanted something that made people sit closer, lean in, share space, something that felt a little less formal and a lot more us. That’s why we went with the Gordon Woodworks table and benches. The first night we had friends over, everyone ended up staying for hours. No one was checking their phones, we were just talking, laughing, passing plates back and forth. The benches made it feel communal, like a long dinner somewhere in the countryside, even though we’re right here in the city. The walnut has this glow when the light hits it, like it’s remembering every meal, every conversation. It’s not just furniture — it’s an invitation.
