Description

The Met x Eichholtz introduces the Dining Table Papyrus, defined by sculptural form and rich materiality, bringing timeless elegance to the heart of your dining space.

Crafted from exquisite brown oak veneer with an expressive open grain, this table draws subtle inspiration from ancient forms. The base design echoes the organic geometry of a historic column capital in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, reinterpreted into a contemporary silhouette. Its presence is both grounded and graceful, making it a distinctive centerpiece for refined interiors.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Dining Table Papyrus takes its name and design inspiration from a capital bearing a papyrus motif that once crowned the column of a kiosk built in front of the temple of Amun at Hibis in Egypt’s Kharga Oasis. Dating to 380–343 BCE, the original column at The Metropolitan Museum of Art combines stylized representations of the common papyrus with foxtail flatsedge plants—an early example of the so-called composite capitals that unite decorative botanical forms into one cohesive design. Eichholtz honors this legacy by translating the Egyptian capital’s rhythm and symmetry into the sculptural base of this modern table.
