Furnishing your dining room: Vintage and modern dining tables and chairs

The dining room is the room where furniture has to withstand the most and has the most to say. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you’ll find both: over 1,000 vintage dining room furniture pieces from every era, restored in our Berlin workshop, and modern dining room furniture, newly made and available for immediate delivery. Plus side cabinets, buffets, display cabinets and sideboards to complete the room.

Furnishing your dining room: three approaches

Mid-Century: Teak dining table, Danish chairs, teak sideboard with sliding doors. Light and warm, it works in both old and new buildings. See Mid-Century.

Antique: Gründerzeit oak table, six leather-upholstered chairs, buffet with display cabinet top. Solid and made for high-ceilinged period homes. See Antiques.

Mixed: An antique table with modern cantilever chairs, or a new walnut table with live edge with vintage chairs. Our customers’ most popular choice.

How large does the dining room need to be?

Allow 60 cm of table width per person, 80 cm around the table for the chairs, and 40 cm behind them to walk past. So a 160 × 90 cm table needs about 3.2 × 2.5 m of clear space. The dimensions are listed for each piece.

Frequently asked questions about dining rooms

Does everything have to be from the same era?

No. Two styles in a room feel livelier than a complete set. What matters more is having the same wood or color in common.

Do modern chairs go with a vintage table?

Very well. Cantilever chairs with Vienna straw weave go equally well with teak, oak, and walnut.

Can an old dining table withstand everyday life with children?

Solid wood can. Scratches can be sanded down and oiled again.

Can I buy a dining table and chairs together?

Yes, many tables are already displayed with matching chairs in the showroom. Ask about a package price.

Do you also buy furniture?

Yes. We buy vintage and antique furniture in good condition. Send us photos and a short description via our furniture buyingpage, and we’ll get back to you with an offer.
