The Dining Edit / Design Study 02
Some rooms invite you to stay at the table. The Long Lunch is our exploration of that feeling: dark mango wood, russet upholstery, transparent glass and a small accent of burgundy stone. Four product types give the room its character, with enough space around them for everyday life.
About this study: this is a self-initiated Haarfen concept for an imagined dining room. The room images are concept visualisations exploring the proposed scheme. Original product photographs and published specifications guide the shopping selection.
Start with the table’s shape
The Refrain Dining Table has a 220 × 100 cm top with softened corners and two broad, curved slab supports. The dark-stained mango wood supplies a clear anchor. Leaving most of the surface uncovered makes the grain and rounded edge part of the room.
Its sculptural base is also a practical consideration. The inset supports influence where chairs and feet can go, so the exact space between them needs checking before a real seating arrangement is confirmed.
Bring colour through the seating
The Crescent Dining Chairs — Pair in Brown carry a russet-brown weave from the arched backs down their tapered legs. Repeating that fabric around the table gives a richer block of colour, while the armless silhouette keeps the seating accessible from either side.
We have planned six chairs for this study. Each is listed as 51 cm wide, 59 cm deep and 83 cm high, with a 46 cm seat height. The chairs are sold in pairs: three listing quantities provide six individual chairs.
Keep the overhead layer open
The Bubble Chandelier introduces eight transparent glass globes, matt black arms and restrained brass-coloured details. Against a pale wall, its outline is easy to appreciate without adding another opaque surface to the room.
The listed fitting is 75 × 75 × 100 cm. Ceiling height, suspension and the final drop need checking with an installer; a concept visualisation cannot establish suitable installation clearance.
Give one small accent room to stand out
The Rounded Rim Bowl – Red adds burgundy jasper marble and pale natural veining. At 25 cm across and 5 cm high, it brings a low sculptural accent to the tabletop. We show it empty as a decorative object; food-serving suitability is not assumed.
The expressive artwork, linen curtains and herringbone floor complete the imagined setting. They are illustrative context, alongside the glasses and napkin, and are excluded from the Haarfen product selection.
Plan the room with people in it
The assumed room measures 5.2 × 4.0 m, with a 2.7 m ceiling. Centring a 220 × 100 cm table gives 1.5 m from each tabletop edge to the surrounding walls in that specific layout. Chairs occupy part of this space, and pulling them out changes the route behind.
Mark out the table and chairs using a method suitable for your floor. Sit down, stand up, walk behind someone seated, and open nearby cupboards and doors. Ask for the table’s lowest underside clearance and exact support spacing before deciding how the chairs will tuck in. A 76 cm table height and 46 cm seat height alone do not establish fit.

The idea is a starting point: an expressive table, a repeated fabric and a little contrast. Keep the artwork or flooring you already love, then assess the finishes together in your own daylight and evening light.
