Allure Dining Table by Koket

Initially, it is a table. Then it becomes a table cut from clear glass, the top slightly smoked in bronze. Your eyes begin to wander down, drinking in the rhythmic design of the base, following every gold crevice leading down only to head back up; compelling you to continue staring. Soon enough, the simplicity of the table disappears, leaving only an intoxicating illusion of art coming to life.

#5 – Luxury Coziness

Your home is your haven. A personal sanctuary that you enjoy, that you don’t treat as a showpiece and nothing is reserved for best. Here, furniture feels comfortable and inviting with comfortable sink-into sofas and hearty tables to gather around.
