How to design your Akante dining set

It’s easy. In just four easy steps, a bespoke Akante dining set can be yours. We’ve outlined the process in more detail below or you can just get started right now. Need a little guidance? Call us on 0345 646 1701.

Step 1: Choose your Akante dining table size and shape

Akante’s boat-shaped dining tables have quick and easy extension mechanisms and come in a choice of sizes, the largest of which seats ten. For a smaller dining space, take a look at the fixed round and square dining tables and bar tables.

Step 2: Choose your favourite table top finish

Akante dining tables come in an extensive choice of beautiful ceramic table top finishes. Whichever one you decide on, you’ll enjoy an easy-care and highly durable surface that’s perfect for entertaining as well as everyday dining.


Step 3: Choose your Akante extending dining table’s leg style

Designed to maximise space in a small dining room, each table base showcases thoughtful design as well as cool modern style. Please note that non-extending dining tables automatically come with pedestal bases that are the same shape as the table top.


Step 4: Choose your Akante dining chairs

Offered in a choice of high-quality upholstery fabrics, Akante chairs have luxuriously cushioned seats and space-saving swivel bases in a range of styles.

Akante Jose

You’ll enjoy contemporary flair with a twist when you opt for a Jose dining table with a star-shaped base. Individual table legs have a distinctive cut-out design that’s in elegant contrast to their matt black lacquered finish.

This leg style also ensures that you can comfortably seat more guests around your new dining table. Available in all sizes of pop-up and swivel extending dining tables and with all ceramic tops, the Jose range includes two styles of swivel dining chairs.

With slender curved matt black metal legs that intertwine just below the table top, Rafa’s unique base design is both contemporary and sophisticated.

Akante FAQs

What makes Akante dining furniture so special?

Incredibly customisable, our Akante collection makes it easy to get exactly what you want from a dining table – you decide the size of the table, its finish, its leg style and even the dining chairs that go with it. Alongside all that, Akante’s expertise in designing and sourcing ceramic makes this brand the go-to maker of stylish ceramic dining furniture. In fact, most of the ceramic used is produced in Spain and many finishes are exclusive to the brand. That means that your bespoke Akante dining table will be unique in more ways than one.

I love the look but I’m not sure about designing my own dining set. What should I do?

We hear you. While it’s very easy to put together a bespoke Akante dining set, it’s even easier if someone does it for you. That’s why you’ll find a selection of ready-made dining sets across our exclusive Rafa, Raul, Jose, Julio and Pique ranges.

What are the advantages of a ceramic dining table?

Where do we start? There are so many great reasons to choose ceramic as a table top finish. Ceramic is incredibly durable – it’s heatproof, chip-resistant and scratch-resistant – so it really will stand up to everyday family life. It also looks very elegant and sophisticated, so it’s an excellent choice for homes without a formal dining room and where the kitchen dining table has to do double-duty as a family dining space and a place to entertain. And ceramic is very easy to keep clean.

Should I choose the pop-up extending dining table or the swivel extending dining table?

If you’re looking for a large Akante dining table, we suggest that you choose the large pop-up dining table which extends to an impressive 260 cm and easily seats ten. The pop-up mechanism in this table is also an excellent choice for a narrower dining room as you simply pull on the table ends and the extra leaf pops up and into place. The swivel extending mechanism requires a little extra room to extend widthways as the whole table top swivels to extend. Both styles of ceramic extending dining tables are easy to use, easy to extend and easy to maintain.
