Where can I get a modern turned wood table without a designer price tag?
I’ve seen a gorgeous red table that’s made by Zanotta with a turned wood stem. It’s out of my price range, but I’d love something similar. Any ideas where to look? The Zanotta table you mean is the Doris by Dominique Mathieu. This season there’s turned detail on lots of pieces of designer furniture, so you shouldn’t have to look too far to get something close to what you have in mind. For starters, Habitat does the Spin table by Alex Dreyer, 499, which is nice and sleek, but not red unfortunately. If you really want that colour, then another option is to buy an antique piece and paint it in RAL3003, which you can get mixed up in Dulux paint. Now is a very good time to buy, as prices have tumbled. And don’t be put off by things that aren’t exactly what you are looking for; a lot of antique furniture can easily be updated wit ha splash of colour or new upholstery, so get down to your local auction room.
