In September, are we already thinking about the holidays? Yes, and not because we’ve started listening to Christmas songs on repeat! 🎄 It’s simply because the most beautiful gatherings are planned long before the lights go on. Meals that last forever, conversations over a good glass of wine, bursts of laughter, and traditions that we return to every year…
The dining table is much more than just a piece of furniture: it’s the meeting point where memories are made. As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about the space in which you will host your loved ones. A table that adapts to your daily life, welcomes your guests, and reflects your style.
1. Frontenac dining table: a bright table for warm gatherings
The choice of a dining table influences the entire ambiance of a dining room. Its material, proportions, and silhouette set the tone for the space, right down to the details of the decor.
With its blonde ash wood and clean lines, the Frontenac table brings visual lightness and natural warmth. Its timeless design leaves room for different interpretations, whether you imagine it in a minimalist, cozy, or more contemporary setting.
Fully customizable, it can be adjusted according to your preferences to create a piece that integrates naturally into your home.
For the holidays, sometimes all it takes is a beautiful tablecloth, a few fir branches, and soft lighting to transform the atmosphere.

Its design offers interesting freedom to play with materials, shapes, and dimensions.

Around it, chairs, lighting, and accessories naturally take their place. For a dining room intended for hosting during the holidays, this flexibility allows you to create a decor that suits you, right down to the details.
Chablis dining table: Extensibility designed for hosting
A well-designed extendable table allows you to maintain the balance of a dining room on a daily basis, while offering more possibilities when hosting. It's a question of functionality, but also of proportions and comfort in the space. The Chablis table stands out for its integrated leaf, discreetly stored inside the table. A particularly practical feature for adapting the configuration according to the number of guests, without compromising the room's aesthetic.
During the holidays, this versatility truly comes into its own. The table retains its place in your daily life and adapts to occasions where the dining room transforms into a real reception area. A thoughtful solution for those who love to host without wanting an imposing table all the time.

KÉNOGAMI dining table: A SIGNATURE PIECE
In the decor: Kénogami dining table with Gemma chairs and Anabel sideboard.
When a table has a strong identity, it can become the anchor point of an entire dining room. The choice of materials and the handling of volumes play an essential role in the personality of the decor.
The Kénogami, LUSINE's signature table, stands out for its combination of concrete and ash. Its hand-applied concrete tabletop, crossed by a slice of ash wood, creates a contrast of textures and materials that catches the eye.
Its sculptural presence fits particularly well in an interior where furniture is chosen as a true design piece. For the holidays, it lends itself just as well to a streamlined table setting as to a more enveloping decoration, where natural materials soften its lines. A table that gives character to the dining room and remains just as appealing long after the holiday season.
Beauchamp dining table: The timeless warmth of walnut
The choice of wood species directly influences the perception of a space. With its rich hues and natural nuances, walnut adds depth to a room and creates a warm atmosphere. The Beauchamp walnut table embodies this approach with an elegant and timeless presence. Available in several dimensions, this table with pure lines is perfect for hosting all your loved ones, with options offering seating from 4 to 14 guests depending on your space.
With its solid walnut base that complements its tabletop, this table provides a unique and warm contemporary touch that enhances any decor.
For the holidays, walnut pairs naturally with cream tones, textured textiles, and accents of greenery. A palette of materials that creates a welcoming ambiance without needing to overdo it.

Dining room chairs
A table with character deserves seating that aligns with that same intention. Choosing dining room chairs allows you to play with volumes, materials, and contrasts to create a balanced decor, while providing the necessary comfort for long, drawn-out meals and evenings that stretch into the night.
At LUSINE mobilier design, each model can be customized with various fabric, color, and finish options, allowing you to compose a cohesive dining room without ever compromising your style. Carefully chosen pieces for a space that is as enjoyable to live in as it is to look at.
