The dining table is the most-used piece of furniture in most Hong Kong homes. It's where you eat, work, help kids with homework, entertain guests, and sometimes just sit with a cup of tea. Choosing the right one matters.
At MyConcept, we carry dining tables from Italian, Danish, and Swiss makers. Here's how to choose.

Extendable Tables: The Hong Kong Essential
If you entertain even occasionally, an extendable table is the smartest investment:
Chair Pairing Suggestions
- Glass table + wire chairs (Knoll Bertoia) = maximum visual lightness
- Wood table + wood chairs (Carl Hansen Wishbone) = warm, cohesive
- Ceramic table + upholstered chairs = contrast of hard and soft
- Marble table + colourful chairs (Normann Copenhagen Form) = playful elegance
