Drunk At A Dinner Party? I Have Just The Table
From time to time I’ve been known – just now and then mind you – to be over-served at a dinner party. If you’re like me, you know how awful it is to have the room spinning whilst making a critical point on the situation in Pakistan. Fortunately, Andrew Raible, of Standard 41, has solved this problem with his table, Train To Dijon.
It comes with matching chairs and benches, too! How considerate. No need to worry that you’re the one who’s tipsy when you can so obviously blame it on the table. If you want to teach your kids to sit up straight I suppose this is just the thing. You’d need both feet planted firmly on the floor to sit at this table.
Truly, this is an expensive (prices start at $3,500 for the table) joke. Everyone will laugh at it once or twice and then the joke is over and you’re off to the furniture shop to buy something a little more sobering. Boo.
I guess I’m no fun (find me after I’ve had one too many and you’ll know that’s not true). However, I believe that when it comes anything larger than a gnome, we should leave the jokes to the dinner guests, not the furniture.

So are they actually sturdy? I could see the design element in these, more so if you have some sense of movement to the space, like horizontal stripes or something. The table in the first image I like.. the rest I’m not so sure about.
I think if you have a house near an airport…
