The Cannes Quadra Dining Table pairs a natural teak frame with a Quadra Stone top, measuring 285 x 110cm and seating up to eight. The stone top is easy to maintain outdoors. Built for alfresco dining.

A stone top on an outdoor table solves the problem timber tops create. Timber outdoors needs oiling, greys off and marks from wine and citrus, whereas stone simply wipes down and carries on, which is why it is worth the extra weight.

Teak underneath is the right frame material for the same reason it always is outdoors: high natural oil content means it handles weather without rotting. At 285cm this seats eight comfortably, which makes it a table for a household that entertains outside rather than a courtyard two-seater. It is heavy, so decide where it lives before it arrives. The combination of warm teak and pale stone is what gives it presence without looking like patio furniture.
