										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>How Lockdown Has Affected The Way We Use Our Dining Tables</h1>
<h2>Since the beginning of the pandemic our dining tables have served as desks, meeting rooms, classrooms, baking benches and yet still remains a place we gather at the end of the day to unwind.</h2>
<p>As we move into what will surely be a new way of life, the team at Mac &amp; Wood have spend the last year diving deeper into the pivotal role dining tables now play in daily life. The new norm will see many of us needing a permeant space to work and play, and it must be flexible in purpose.</p>
<p>The average family dining table will play host to 572 conversations, 1,456 meals and 468 jokes – every year. Research commissioned by McCain, found more than a quarter described the dining table as the heart of their home.</p>
<p>For this very reason Mac &amp; Wood has been committed to crafting beautiful bespoke tables, working closely with the customer to articulate exactly what is required for such a encompassing piece of furniture. For example the Dekton tables are pretty indestructible and amazingly versatile coming in an array of beautiful finishes and colours, which makes Dekton suitable for any space or room.</p>
<p>Dekton is made in a process that combines technologies from three different industries; glass, porcelain and quartz. This process lead to the development of a new production method called Particle Sintering Technology.</p>
<p>This process is like an accelerated version of the natural metamorphism that rocks and stone undergo when subjected to heat and pressure over thousands of years. To manufacture Dekton, Cosentino has reduced this process to four hours with extreme heat and pressure resulting in an entirely new ultra compact material. The press used in the ultra-compaction can bring 25,000 tons of pressure to bear.</p>
<p>As our work and social lives continue to migrate it is not only the functionality of our dining tables that will be redefined, the look and feelings they evolve will also become a large factor in our purchasing decisions. They will not only be a place for evening work but also need to be a place to socialise and relax. Duelling between office and sanctuary, with research showing nearly 44% of families are eating more meals together than ever before.</p>
<p>Why not explore Mac &amp; Wood, to find the perfect bespoke frame and finish to reinvigorate your dining room table.</p>

<h2 class="p1">At Mac+Wood we love getting to see our expertly handmade furniture reach its final destination. Seeing the unique furniture we create go from carefully crafted design plan, to a touchable centrepiece, is what inspires us to keep creating. Last week we were able to deliver two of our larger bespoke meeting tables to a couple of great companies.</h2>

<p>Our first delivery was to the stylish new offices of <i><a href="https://www.bbdperfectstorm.com">BBD Perfect Storm</a>,</i> a modern advertising agency with a keen eye for the contemporary. They commissioned us to produce a Dekton office table in the sumptuous Trillium finish. Dekton tables come in a huge array of carefully created colours and patterns. The Dekton surface is a really exiting addition to the contemporary furniture scene. Our job was to find the right finish for the space and to pair it with the perfect frame to create a striking contemporary boardroom table. With our help BBD paired their Trillium finish with our brand new “X” frame design, in brushed stainless steel, to complete the industrial-chic look.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s4">Having chosen their design, we handcrafted their centrepiece meeting room table and arrived outside their offices with only four flights of stairs between us the space. Our highly skilled team of installers assembled the sleek “X” frame in a matter of minutes, ready for the monolithic top to be installed. With our team of 6 getting a free gym class lifting the Dekton up the stairs, we successfully brought the table into the room where it will be used and admired. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s4">To complete this impressive new boardroom table for BBD we mounted the top to the frame and stood back to enjoy a successful installation and beautiful table. Paired with our Hudson chairs it is the perfect example of stylish modern office furniture.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s4">Our beautiful reclaimed wood tables come from wood that is sourced from a huge variety of locations and carefully selected to produce a characterful focal point for any room.

<p class="p1"><span class="s4">Our team installed this modern wood table in pride of place in the “Jammie Dodger” meeting room of Fetch. We hope that the style and substance of the table helps to inspire the ideas and innovations of those who use it in the future.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Express yourself with a contemporary coffee table<br />
</strong></h1>
<p>Amongst Mac+Wood’s wide range of luxury furniture lies the contemporary coffee table. The coffee table is one of the most central pieces of any home, representing the personality of the homeowner perhaps more than any other item. At its best, it is a perfectly functional showpiece, enabling social occasions whilst communicating the values of its owner.</p>
<p>Styling a coffee table is a famously important aspect of interior design. Here are some ways you can express yourself through your coffee table, if you’re looking for some inspiration.</p>
<p><strong>Coffee Table Books</strong></p>
<p>The one ingredient of coffee table perfection that most people are aware of, the coffee table book is the most articulate object you can place on your table, speaking volumes about your interests and passions. Choose large art books as the base of a pile of coffee table books to create a layered look on the table, either on the shelf underneath or the upper surface.</p>
<p>Alternatively, source a pair of beautiful bookends which match the room to enclose a few books on the top of the table.</p>
<p>Choose similar books to create a theme for your coffee table and indicate your commitment to your passion – perhaps you’re a photography snob, hording Ansel Adams hardcovers, or perhaps fashion is your bag and you’re stacking up volumes of Vogue.</p>
<div id="attachment_3911" style="width: 827px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20-greatest-coffee-table-books-of-all-time-u1.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3911" class="wp-image-3911 size-full" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20-greatest-coffee-table-books-of-all-time-u1.jpeg" alt="A contemporary coffee table arrangement for the stylish home" width="817" height="427" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20-greatest-coffee-table-books-of-all-time-u1.jpeg 817w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20-greatest-coffee-table-books-of-all-time-u1-300x157.jpeg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/20-greatest-coffee-table-books-of-all-time-u1-768x401.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:817px) 100vw, 817px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3911" class="wp-caption-text">Coffee table books add culture to a room</p></div>
<p><strong>Succulents and Terrariums</strong></p>
<p>Greenery never goes amiss indoors. Bringing the outside in has long been a mark of sensitive, soothing design, and your coffee table need be no exception to this rule. House plants are a great idea for living rooms, but it might be wise to find plants which can survive in low light for your coffee table, to keep them low maintenance. In this instance, succulents and cacti are a wonderful option.</p>
<p>Choose cacti and desert plants for sandy, warm hues or a leafier, exotic shrub for green or blue toned rooms to give an impression of the tropical. If you want to go for a quintessentially British look with your interior, choose lavender.</p>
<p>Terrariums are a perfect tabletop ornament, bringing to the table both the greenery of nature and the luxurious sheen of glass.</p>
<div id="attachment_3914" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3914" class="wp-image-3914 size-large" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810-1024x682.jpeg" alt="A contemporary coffee table arrangement for the stylish home" width="1024" height="682" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/IMG_5810.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3914" class="wp-caption-text">Bring a breath of fresh air to your living room with a terrarium</p></div>
<p><strong>Catchalls</strong></p>
<p>Gathering together your tabletop items is a great way to preserve order on your table, keeping it tidy and making cleaning easy. You can find a wide variety of fashionable catchalls at homeware shops and department stores like John Lewis and Fenwick’s. Popular catchalls include baskets and trays. Try a wicker look with a basket or tray for a natural feel to go along with catci and bamboo blinds.</p>
<p>Glass and plastic trays look chic over a tablecloth &#8211; a little fabric can add a touch of texture and variety to a contemporary table.</p>
<p>Keep fresh flowers, stylish ornaments and something personal in your catchall – perhaps a gift from a friend or your favourite necklace or cufflinks.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Dekton Tables: the ultimate high-tech tables</h1>
<h2>You need a table made tough for family life, you need a unique Mac+Wood Dekton table.</h2>
<p>The revolutionary product Dekton launched in 2013. This completely inorganic substance is made from complex raw materials, used in glass, porcelain and quartz surface production. Before its launch the company that created it, Cosentino, invested $172 million into the new product, including 22,000 hours of research and development and the construction of a new state-of-the-art factory in Spain.</p>
<p>Dekton is a material with unique characteristics and seemingly endless applications from tables, countertops, flooring, siding, facades for both inside and outdoors.</p>
<p>Dekton is made in a process that combines technologies from three different industries; glass, porcelain and quartz. This process lead to the development of a new production method called Particle Sintering Technology.</p>
<p>This process is like an accelerated version of the natural metamorphism that rocks and stone undergo when subjected to heat and pressure over thousands of years. To manufacture Dekton, Cosentino has reduced this process to four hours with extreme heat and pressure resulting in an entirely new ultra compact material. The press used in the ultra-compaction can bring 25,000 tons of pressure to bear.</p>
<p>All of this highly scientific process has lead to a product with unique properties, which can best be taken advantage of in the form of a Dekton table.</p>
<p>The properties of a Dekton table that make it so useful fall into four categories.</p>
<p>Firstly, the table is non-porous and this means it is highly stain resistant. Hosting a party with a Dekton table? All those glass rings which could ruin another surface can be wiped away easily with no lasting marks, even the morning after.</p>
<p>In a video demonstration of the stain resistance of Dekton tables, they spray the table with a large X in red paint, dry it with a hair dryer and then remove it with little more than a cloth and water.</p>
<p>Secondly, the tables are highly UV resistant. Normally surfaces are affected by UV light and the colours become washed out and faded. However, a Dekton table will hold its colour permanently due to its UV resistance. This means the beautiful colour you spent time choosing from the myriad of options will really last.</p>
<p>Thirdly, Dekton tables are pretty indestructible. The enormous pressures Dekton tables are exposed to during production means that they can resist any scratch, abrasion, or mechanical attack. This makes them perfect for hard use and preparing food on, without fear of chips or scratches. In another demonstration of the Dekton table’s surface, the table is attacked with a screw driver and rather than scratch or chip the tool is repelled showing a few sparks in slow motion!</p>
<p>Finally, Dekton tables, like a good chef, can stand the heat. Dekton tables are completely noncombustible. They can be blowtorched and abused by pots and pans and never show a mark. Forget using pot stands or trivets, you can place anything hot on a Dekton table without worry. Dekton tables also resist temperature at the other end of the scale and are resistant to ice and thawing.</p>
<p>Dekton tables come in a wonderful array of carefully created colours and patterns. These colours make the surface of a Dekton table suited to any room and style. At MAC+WOOD we finish the job by creating the perfect bespoke frame to pair with the surface and style. We make these frames in any colour or in brushed steel and in any one of our beautiful designs.</p>

			<h1>How to style an interior around your Mac&amp;Wood dining table</h1>

<p>Once safe in the acquisition of the perfect dining table, the question of how to style its surrounding interior in a suitable and fashionable manor remains.</p>
<p>We’ve had a look at some of our favourite dining tables and put together a set of colour swatches to explore some brilliant colour schemes you could try in the room with your table.</p>

			<p><strong>Neutral Stone</strong></p>
<p>City-slick, urban and sophisticated, shades of grey are on trend this season, and just as timeless as they are stylish. Whether subtle stone or intense charcoal, you can convey a sense of wealth and power with this colour palette, making it perfect for the office or a stylish kitchen. This zinc-topped table with a family frame is a perfect centerpiece.</p>

			<p><strong>Colour Accents</strong></p>
<p>Adding a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral palette is a time-tested design technique proven to make an impact. Adding a colour accent to a room can bring it to life, making it vibrant and lively. For an industrial chic room with exposed brickwork, try a palette of natural, woody browns and our reclaimed wood oak table as a centerpiece. Adding a splash of red or pastel pinks and blues will add instant quirk.</p>

			<p><strong>Neutral Warm</strong></p>
<p>Warm the winter blues away with soft, gentle hues of brown, ochre or sand. These tones will brighten a room and bring a dash of sunshine to proceedings. The perfect material to bring warmth to a room, our aged copper sits beautifully on top of trunk frames and family frames, as displayed here.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Cotswolds and cunningly disguised as a seemingly normal Georgian country house &#8211; pulling it off with convincingly natural flair no less, sits Aynhoe Park &#8211; the surreal, luxury furniture filled, off-the-wall anomaly amongst Georgian country houses.</h2>
<p>Home and passion project of veteran music-mogul James Perkins who happens to also moonlight as a restorer of historic houses, Aynhoe Park is a surreal carnival of rockstar chic, Palladian grandeur, and the plain outrageous. As in, there is literally a 12-foot taxidermied giraffe named Gerald suspended by giant silver balloons in The Orangery, (what&#8217;s The Orangery you ask? Read on my dear reader).</p>
<p>I had the pleasure of experiencing Aynhoe Park while attending a wedding last year, one of the principal events that sees people, champagne in hand, gawping at the otherworldly interior of the eccentric venue. Numbered amongst the attendees of past events are Mick Jagger, Christian Louboutin and Kate Moss to name a few &#8211; clearly I missed my chance to infiltrate the inner circle of timeless British music and fashion royalty &#8211; but all thoughts of lost opportunity were well and truly forgotten by the end of a wedding weekend spent in awe of Perkins’s collection of avant-garde curiosities. Without further ado, let me present some of my top picks of the luxury furniture and furnished luxuries of Aynhoe Park.</p>
<p><strong>Patriotic Polar Bears</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3053" style="width: 209px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Polar.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3053"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3053" class="size-medium wp-image-3053" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Polar-199x300.jpg" alt="The Performer" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Polar-199x300.jpg 199w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Polar.jpg 294w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 199px, 199px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3053" class="wp-caption-text">The Performer</p></div>
<p>Standing out amongst the vast collection of taxidermy present throughout the house and giving Gerald a run for his money for the winner of Most Memorable Stuffed Animal &#8211; are two polar bears, nameless as far as I’m aware, but what they lack in denomination they make up for in patriotism. Both sporting Union Jack torso-wear/capes, they cut a striking pose, sparing no expense on accessorising, complete with a top hat, British flying goggles and an admiral’s cap. Two testaments to James Perkin’s love for effortlessly blended grandiose quirkiness.</p>
<div id="attachment_3054" style="width: 197px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/polar-bear-toy-LUXURY-xlarge_transd5_sWj-Hu5YV1uSoc_Px3kpjeM_tJ2tYLOV1scPnz1o.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3054"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3054" class="size-medium wp-image-3054" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/polar-bear-toy-LUXURY-xlarge_transd5_sWj-Hu5YV1uSoc_Px3kpjeM_tJ2tYLOV1scPnz1o-187x300.jpg" alt="The Flyer" width="187" height="300" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/polar-bear-toy-LUXURY-xlarge_transd5_sWj-Hu5YV1uSoc_Px3kpjeM_tJ2tYLOV1scPnz1o-187x300.jpg 187w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/polar-bear-toy-LUXURY-xlarge_transd5_sWj-Hu5YV1uSoc_Px3kpjeM_tJ2tYLOV1scPnz1o.jpg 366w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 187px, 187px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3054" class="wp-caption-text">The Aviator</p></div>
<p><strong>Hercules by James Perkins Studio</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3055" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3055"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3055" class="size-medium wp-image-3055" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography-200x300.jpg" alt="Son of Zeus" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography-200x300.jpg 200w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography-768x1154.jpg 768w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography-681x1024.jpg 681w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Aynhoe-Park-Wedding-Photography.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 200px, 200px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3055" class="wp-caption-text">The Son of Zeus</p></div>
<p>Having “slain the beast”, the towering figure of Hercules leans on a club draped with the hide of the lion. One of the most iconic pieces of James’ collection, the sculpture is actually based on a much smaller marble version by one of the greatest Hellenic sculptors in the Fourth Century Bc, but the current incarnation, need I even bother saying it; of course stands at over ten-and-a-half-feet tall and has a golden clock around his neck and is holding a matching golden balloon behind his back. Demigod meets party-boy, Hercules is personal favourite of mine as well as being another well documented conversation starter at Aynhoe.</p>
<p><strong>Hammered Copper Pendulum Chaise</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3056" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3056"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3056" class="size-medium wp-image-3056" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048-200x300.jpg" alt="But of course there's copper" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048-200x300.jpg 200w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Swing_Chaise8_2048x2048.jpg 1240w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 200px, 200px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3056" class="wp-caption-text">But of course there&#8217;s luxury furniture made from copper</p></div>
<p>Would this really be a Mac+Wood post without mentioning copper luxury furniture at least once? No. Thought not. So feast your eyes on the latest burnished statement piece featured on our site (and in my opinion one of the most eye-catching). Hand crafted with highly polished materials and coated in a lustrous copper finish, the sculptural design making a striking and functional garden installation that can be hung from a tree or attached to a free-standing swing frame for interior use. If you’d like to read about more ingenious uses of copper furnishings, we wrote a whole article about it! <a href="/blog/copper-tables-in-london-bars-and-restarants/">/blog/copper-tables-in-london-bars-and-restarants/</a></p>
<p><strong>Gerald</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3057" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/her_lovely_heart_aynhoe_park_behind_the_scenes_marianne005.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3057"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3057" class="size-medium wp-image-3057" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/her_lovely_heart_aynhoe_park_behind_the_scenes_marianne005-300x200.jpg" alt="Gerald The Giraffe" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/her_lovely_heart_aynhoe_park_behind_the_scenes_marianne005-300x200.jpg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/her_lovely_heart_aynhoe_park_behind_the_scenes_marianne005.jpg 650w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 300px, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3057" class="wp-caption-text">Gerald The Giraffe</p></div>
<p>And now for the star of our show, the one constant in this turbulent world, the giraffe, quite literally, above all others – Gerald. Not much is known about the inspiration behind his conception but at this point in its important to realise that at Aynhoe Park, too much “why?” will stop you from appreciating the wonder around every corner. Suspended by monumental glass balloons, Gerald lives exclusively in The Orangery, the principal wedding room. When he’s not officiating weddings, Gerald is enchanting children and adults alike with his fairytale appearance and generally making the world a brighter place.</p>
<p>Hats off to Mr Perkins for his tireless devotion to filling such a grand space with the weird, wonderful and original, it made for an unforgettable weekend as it has for so many others choosing to throw their party of parties there. To tell you more about Aynhoe Park would be to ruin the first-person experience of, well, all the above – so you’ll just have to go and see it for yourself!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><a href="/blog/film-fables-to-coffee-tables-furniture/">Film fables to Coffee Tables: Furniture on the Big Screen</a></h1>
<h2>As the curtains come down on another summer of blockbusters with plenty of both hits and misses making their way across the big-screen, we’ve decided it’s time to look beyond the star-studded casts and questionable reboots to celebrate a whole different class of talent. The unsung heroes of the film industry, the humble saviours of style, the beautiful set pieces responsible for a positively cult-like following of furniture geeks and movie nerds – the iconic interiors behind some of our favourite works of cinema!</h2>
<p><span id="more-3010"></span></p>
<p>From Iron Thrones to space-age swivel chairs, the furnishings and interiors seen in both mainstream and more obscure movies have often been overlooked as being, excuse the pun, simply part of the furniture. Today however we’re taking sides with our metaphorical army of art designers and set decorators who would condemn such a shameless oversight! Style choices in film are just as important to the end product as even the most show-stopping performance and that’s why Mac+Wood have decided to share with you our favourite pieces of furniture from a collection of our favourite and not-so-favourite films.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Barcelona Chair in <em>Tron: Legacy </em>(2010)</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_3011" style="width: 840px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.knoll.com/product/barcelona-chair" rel="attachment wp-att-3011"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3011" class="wp-image-3011 size-full" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tron-barcelona-chairpsd.jpg" alt="A scene from Tron:Legacy (2010) featuring the future-esque Barcelona Chair" width="830" height="466" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tron-barcelona-chairpsd.jpg 830w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tron-barcelona-chairpsd-300x168.jpg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tron-barcelona-chairpsd-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:830px) 100vw, 830px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3011" class="wp-caption-text">A scene from <em>Tron:Legacy</em> (2010) featuring the future-esque Barcelona Chair</p></div>
<p>Though it was designed in 1992, the Barcelona Chair interestingly features in <em>Tron: Legacy </em>(2010) as a striking part of the ultra-futuristic decor exhibited in a digital-age, computer-generated world. If that doesn’t say timeless classic then we don’t know what does! Designed by Mies van der Rohe and also appearing in <em>Bond: Spectre </em>(2015), this chair is a perfect example of modernism design furniture and an enduring contribution to the world&#8217;s domestic landscape.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dining Booths in Jack Rabbit Slim’s Diner</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_3013" style="width: 970px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://gb.imdb.com/title/tt0110912/" rel="attachment wp-att-3013"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3013" class="wp-image-3013 size-full" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/jack-rabbit-slims.jpg" alt="Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) sets the stage for a dining booth fashioned out of a convertible 50's car" width="960" height="640" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/jack-rabbit-slims.jpg 960w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/jack-rabbit-slims-300x200.jpg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/jack-rabbit-slims-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3013" class="wp-caption-text">Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s <em>Pulp Fiction</em> (1994) sets the stage for a dining booth fashioned out of a convertible 50&#8217;s car</p></div>
<p>Not strictly a piece of furniture &#8211; one, in the sense that it was built by the set designers of the cult classic <em>Pulp Fiction </em>(1994) and &#8211; two, we’ve never seen anything remotely resembling this in someone’s home before – but we couldn’t resist &#8211; look at that booth! Fashioned from vintage convertible cars as a nod to Elvis Presley’s <em>Speedway </em>(1968) and Howard Hawk’s <em>Red Line 7000 </em>(1965), the booths perfectly capture the 50’s feel of Quentin Tarantino’s fictional diner, the raucous Jack Rabbit Slims. Pastel upholstery and chrome fittings galore, this set-piece/aspirational purchase will have you doing the twist in no time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sequoia Table by BRABBU</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_3014" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.brabbu.com/en/casegoods/sequoia-center-table/" rel="attachment wp-att-3014"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3014" class="wp-image-3014 size-large" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/4_Brabbu_Zulu_Sequoia_centre_table_z-1024x655.jpg" alt="Seen in 50 Shades of Grey (2015), the BRABBU Sequoia Centre Table makes a bold centerpiece" width="1024" height="655" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/4_Brabbu_Zulu_Sequoia_centre_table_z-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/4_Brabbu_Zulu_Sequoia_centre_table_z-300x192.jpg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/4_Brabbu_Zulu_Sequoia_centre_table_z-768x492.jpg 768w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/4_Brabbu_Zulu_Sequoia_centre_table_z.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3014" class="wp-caption-text">Seen in <em>50 Shades of Grey</em> (2015), the BRABBU Sequoia Centre Table makes a bold centrepiece</p></div>
<p>So we didn’t get a chance to see the film adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel <em>50 Shades of Grey </em>(2015) but judging by the various sceptical reviews it seems like the hottest thing we missed out on was this Sequoia Centre coffee table. With a walnut root veneer to represent the passage of years of the towering Sequoia tree and complete with brass bark, this centrepiece absolutely steals the show. A mid-century furniture design inspired by the forces of nature.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Morpheus’s Red Leather Wingback</span></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3015" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.chesterfieldsdirect.co.uk/the-lincoln-chair-c2x11919732" rel="attachment wp-att-3015"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3015" class="wp-image-3015 size-full" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Best-Movie-Chairs-The-Matrix.jpg" alt="The Prince of sci-fi sits on his throne, the Red Leather Wingback Chesterfield-style chair in The Matrix (1999)" width="620" height="320" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Best-Movie-Chairs-The-Matrix.jpg 620w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Best-Movie-Chairs-The-Matrix-300x155.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 620px, 620px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3015" class="wp-caption-text">The Prince of sci-fi sits on his throne, the Red Leather Wingback Chesterfield-style chair in The Matrix (1999)</p></div>
<p>Looking up again towards the lofty heights of sci-fi iconicity, we find ourselves faced with a piece of 18<sup>th</sup> Century furniture royalty, sat on by someone of <em>even</em> <em>greater</em> royalty in the sci-fi world, none other than <em>The Matrix</em>’s (1999) Morpheus. With characteristically deep buttoned upholstery, rolled arms and a nail head trim, the Wingback is a noble classic, gracing the floors of gentlemen’s clubs and luxury homes alike, the epitome of British style, elegance and class.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Wave Coffee Table by Mousarris</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_3016" style="width: 990px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.mousarris.com/wave-coffee-table" rel="attachment wp-att-3016"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3016" class="wp-image-3016 size-full" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/han-solo-coffee-table-for-sale.jpg" alt="A truly inspired piece, The Waave Coffee Table is based on a scene from Incecption (2010)" width="980" height="551" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/han-solo-coffee-table-for-sale.jpg 980w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/han-solo-coffee-table-for-sale-300x169.jpg 300w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/han-solo-coffee-table-for-sale-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3016" class="wp-caption-text">A truly inspired piece, The Wave Coffee Table is based on a scene from <em>Incecption</em> (2010)</p></div>
<p>To round off our selection, we found this captivating limited edition piece by Greek designer Stelios Mousarris. Inspired by a memorable scene in the visually stunning sci-fi thriller <em>Inception </em>(2010) where a city is folded in on itself in a dream, this table was created with 3D-printing technology and is a remarkable render of the sequence in the film. Mesmerising and perfectly balanced despite its odd shape, the Wave Coffee Table just as much fan memorabilia as it is a place to stack your architecture books. Best of all, its made of a mixture of wood and steel &#8211; two of the most gorgeous building materials that we at Mac+Wood hold dear as our ranges are crafted from the very same.</p>

<p>The purchase of all aspirational purchases, this coffee table comes from the minds of film and music inspired designers András Lacfi and Ernő Balogh, who own the quirky interiors/arts business; Altar. Its a triumphant celebration of all things <em>Star Wars</em>, not to mention the proverbial Holy Grail of our very own long-time fan and Mac+Wood Founder, Marcel Cowan. Combining interactivity, function and nostalgia, The Droid Interactive Coffee Table rolls on its own two wheels and features a mini slide-projector (picturing R2 in the Death Stars’ sewage), a flashlight, sounds, lighting programs, and a fully functional animated droid on the playfield.</p>

			<h1><a href="/blog/copper-tables-in-london-bars-and-restarants/">Design &amp; Décor: Copper tables and furnishings in top London Bars and Restaurants</a></h1>
<h2>Copper furnishing and accenting both in and out of the home is enjoying what can only be described as a Second Age this season as architects and interior designers dive into the spectrum of hues and finishes to create newly inspired takes on the classic look.</h2>
<p><span id="more-2923"></span></p>
<p>What makes copper so fun to use as a style choice is the freedom you have to use as much or as little of it as you like. You can recreate the Bronze Age in your front room, choose a single bold centrepiece, or accessorise with subtler touches like lampshades or piping &#8211; all (some more than others) bringing out the glowing warmth and retrospective chic that copper has to offer.</p>
<p>To celebrate the launch of Mac+Wood’s Metal’s Range we thought we’d do a little digging of our own. We scoured London for the most striking copper decor we could find; from distressed copper tables in East London bars to bronze behemoths in 5-star hotels, we’ve pulled together a collection of the capital’s top establishments who have incorporated copper into their distinctive style.</p>
<h3><u>The Paramount Bar </u></h3>
<p>The first thing you noticed stepping out of the elevator on the 32<sup>nd</sup> floor was the colossal hand-crafted copper bar in the centre of the room. Though the venue is now unfortunately closed, the centrepiece will always be an iconic example of unapologetically bold style.</p>
<p>Stealing the show entirely, the piece designed by Tom Dixon is an example of making a statement with copper furnishing. Forever a conversation starter, the bold design is made from aged copper and filled the Paramount Bar with an enduring warm glow.</p>
<h3><u>Nola Bar </u></h3>
<p>Opting for a far less grandiose but no less effective style, Nola Bar in Rivington Street comes complete with a solid copper bar top, copper pipes accenting the walls and industrial hanging lamps to complete the East London retro bar feel.</p>
<p>Known for its New Orleans heritage, the Sazerac-infused cocktails at Nola are as expertly crafted as the decor.</p>
<h3><u>Boyds Grill  &amp; Wine Bar</u></h3>
<p>The soft lighting, clinking of glasses and brilliantly polished copper surfaces laden with seasonal produce and champagne make for a Gatsby-era feel with the furnishings to match.</p>
<p>The swanky yet down-to-earth Boyds Grill &amp; Wine bar combines copper bar tops, tables and lamp stems with plush curtains and carpets to give it a truly classic ambiance.</p>
<h3><u>Bandol Restaurant </u></h3>
<p>This 70-seat restaurant in Chelsea features copper, distressed oak, steel, concrete, brick, smoked glass and copper pipe pendant lighting – and if that doesn’t set the mood for you then they also have a large central olive tree.</p>
<p>Executed by London design studio Kinnersley Kent Design, the copper- centric decor combined with the other furnishings gives the restaurant an air of effortless modern style.</p>

<h2>From the clothes you put on in the morning to the table you dine on at night, you’re making design decisions all day – whether you know it or not. You make thousands of these decisions throughout the course of a day without even thinking about it. There’s an interior designer inside of you. No need to hire one!</h2>
<p><span id="more-2789"></span></p>
<p>But there’s one piece of furniture in your house which tells your guests everything they need to know: your dining room table, the main table in your home. This is probably the largest, priciest table you own, and it lives in a communal space where you spend loads of time. You eat here, you socialize here, you live here.</p>
<p>To help you get in touch with your inner designer, we’ve put together this quick handy guide. You may be surprised how much the character of this table says about you. Which of these styles are you drawn to?</p>
<div id="attachment_924" style="width: 360px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/character-wooden-tables.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-924"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-924" class=" wp-image-924" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/character-wooden-tables-300x201.jpg" alt="Reclaimed Wood dining tables by Mac+Wood" width="350" height="222" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-924" class="wp-caption-text">Reclaimed Wood dining tables by Mac+Wood</p></div>
<p><strong>The Humble Hero</strong></p>
<p>This rugged reclaimed wood table is where you do most of your thinking, relaxing, and dining. Its dark stain lets the warm beauty of the wood shine through, and even emphasises it. Your space is uncluttered and open. You have nothing to hide. You’re earthy, even a bit rustic. You have an appreciation for the quirky nature of things, and you find beauty in life’s bumps and imperfections.</p>
<p><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mac-Wood-Lacquer.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-2533"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2533 alignright" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mac-Wood-Lacquer-300x190.jpg" alt="Gloss Lacquer tables" width="350" height="217" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Charismatic Influencer</strong></p>
<p>You live to be seen and connect with others, so naturally you love to entertain around this slick red lacquered table. It’s durable and straightforward, and has a way of making life easier. Kind of like the latest gadget you’ve probably already placed on order. You don’t just follow trends, you create them. A natural extrovert. It’s the combination of your sharp intelligence and good looks that strikes a perfect harmony, like the clean metal legs on this table.</p>
<p><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/large-wooden-contemporary-table-mac-and-wood.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-910"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-910 alignleft" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/large-wooden-contemporary-table-mac-and-wood.jpg" alt="Meeting and Boardroom Tables" width="350" height="245" srcset="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/large-wooden-contemporary-table-mac-and-wood.jpg 1000w, https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/large-wooden-contemporary-table-mac-and-wood-300x210.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width:767px) 350px, 350px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Urban Boutique</strong></p>
<p>Your style is tasteful and refined. This smooth reclaimed wood table is the heart of your home. Its light stain keeps your space feeling open and airy, and shows the natural beauty of the wood while keeping it clean and refined. You have an eye for the classic, but you keep it casual and comfortable with natural materials. Your wardrobe tends toward natural fibres in earth tones, with pops of colour. You don’t feel the need to go to every social event you’re invited to, but you’re thoughtful enough to send a thank you card when you do.</p>
<p><a href="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mac-Wood-Zinc-patina.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-2532"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2532 alignright" src="https://macandwood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mac-Wood-Zinc-patina-300x184.jpg" alt="Zinc Patina Table Tops" width="350" height="209" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Confident Achiever</strong></p>
<p>Like this richly textured zinc table, you’re all about finding the finest blend of form and function. In everything you do, you seek quality and order. You’ve long stopped following trends – at this point in life, you’re truly expressing who you are. There’s a confidence to you and you wear it well. The secret of your success is to invest in quality relationships, jobs and objects that will be with you for life.</p>
