Samuel Glass Dining Series — Clarity, Proportion, and Smart Value
Dining in New Zealand homes is multi-purpose: breakfast, homework, remote work, weekend hosting. The Samuel Series was created to make modern dining look and feel easy — glass tops for visual lightness, slim steel frames for stability, and scalable sizes with matching chair counts for spaces from apartments to open-plan family rooms.
1) Why We Built This Series
Most dining rooms must do more with less. Samuel consolidates what matters most: a tempered glass top that brightens space, a slim powder-coated steel frame that stays solid without adding bulk, and a size ladder (1200/1400/1600/1800 mm) that maps naturally to 4- or 6-chair layouts. Two foundational finishes — black for crisp contrast and white for airy brightness — keep styling simple and modern.
2) Designed for Real Homes — From Compact to Open-Plan
- 1200 mm (4 seats): ideal for apartments or kitchen nooks; compact footprint with full-size comfort.
- 1400 mm (4–6 seats): the flexible everyday choice for young families or frequent guests.
- 1600 mm / 1800 mm (6 seats): generous hosting without visual heaviness; perfect for open-plan dining.
Black sharpens lines and emphasizes the slim geometry; white lifts ambient brightness and feels extra clean. Either way, the design stays understated — letting food, people, and light take centre stage.
3) Behind the Design — Minimalism that Works
- Tempered glass top: scratch-resistant, heat-tolerant, wipes clean in seconds; reflects natural light to visually “open” the room.
- Powder-coated steel frame: slim yet rigid; generous leg-room and tidy chair tucking.
- PU dining chairs with metal legs: soft sit, easy maintenance, durable for high-frequency use.
- Rounded corners: safer edges and a softer visual language for family spaces.
Proportion is the quiet hero: glass thickness, leg spacing, and seat height are tuned so 4 or 6 chairs slide under neatly without clashes — proof that “minimal” doesn’t mean “under-engineered.”
4) Living with Samuel — Real Scenarios, No Fuss
Morning coffee at a 1200 mm white set; weeknight dinners at a 1400 mm black; a 1600/1800 mm layout for bigger gatherings — each size maintains comfortable spacing and clear walk-paths. Fingerprints and spills? A quick wipe on the glass top and a damp cloth for PU chairs. It’s a dining system designed to be used, not tip-toed around.
5) Care Guide — 30-Second Routine
- Glass top: microfiber cloth + mild cleaner; circular wipe then straight pass to finish.
- Steel frame: multi-purpose cleaner; dry cloth after to avoid water marks.
- PU chairs: damp cloth + small amount of gentle detergent; avoid alcohol/strong solvents; monthly full wipe-down.
- Daily tips: use placemats/coasters; place heavy items gently; avoid edge impacts.

FAQ
What sizes are available in the Samuel Series?
The series comes in 1200 mm, 1400 mm, 1600 mm, and 1800 mm tables with 4- or 6-seat configurations matched to each length.
Is the glass top easy to maintain?
Yes. Tempered glass is scratch-resistant and wipes clean quickly. Use a microfiber cloth and a mild cleaner for a streak-free finish.
Which finish should I choose — black or white?
Black sharpens contrast and outlines; white brightens the room and feels extra clean. Both pair well with light oak floors and neutral walls.
