WHAT IS A SQUOVAL?

At Loewen Design Studios we offer a variety of table shapes including our newest shape that we call a squoval. It’s a combination of a square and an oval. Maybe more of a rectangle and an oval depending on the size 

The combination is to take advantage of the best parts of both tables. Rectangles are great at using space well. They're very good for fitting a lot of people around your table and serving dishes on your table as well. The oval is best for conversation and seeing everyone around the table. So the squoval has the straight ends of a rectangle to give lots of space, and the long edges mirror an oval with a curve making it a perfect combination of the two.

This allows the table to still have all the room needed for people to sit around it, but lets all the people see each other well. 

WHY DO I WANT A SQUOVAL?

Squovals are best for slightly larger tables. They are wonderful for tables that seat 3 or more along the long edge so they can all comfortably see each other while sitting at the table. With a standard rectangular table this can be difficult as the person in the middle would be in the way. The curved long edge that defines the squoval table shape is what makes this so special. It makes conversation more comfortable at the table for everyone. People don’t naturally make squares and rectangles when we talk; a squoval lets everyone chat comfortably.

Fitzroy Walnut Squoval Table

$4,280.00 USD

This modern dining table is made of solid walnut. It is a unique shape we call a squoval which has curved sides to help people at longer tables all see each other. The 42” x 84” size we photographed is perfect for 6-10 people. Because we build each table to order, we can build your table in exactly the size you need. If your size isn’t listed or if you have any questions, message us. We’re here to help!

This table top is just over 1" thick and has been made with locally sourced walnut.  We finish the walnut with an all-natural oil that we hand rub into the wood. It gives the wood a matte finish. We like this finish because it is durable having been originally designed for floors and is food safe. More details about this table are listed below.

We'd love to hear from you and work with you to design and build your perfect table. Reach out in the chat or at hello@loewendesignstudios.com with any questions or special requests.
