This postmodern set includes eight ebonized high-back dining chairs—two with armrests and six without—along with an extendable dining table. The name “Cirkante” refers to the use of circular or curved elements, which are subtly incorporated into the otherwise minimalist design.

The table, in a striking black color, is crafted from high-quality materials for enhanced durability. It showcases a unique geometric design, transforming from a square into a spacious octagonal shape that accommodates up to eight people. A square granite stone at the center adds elegance and stability to the piece. With its vintage condition, this Cirkante table exemplifies the innovative spirit of Postmodern design, making it a desirable item for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

The eight dining chairs are finely crafted, combining straight lines with circular or rounded details that give them a distinctive visual character. They feature leather seats that show age-related wear, adding character and reflecting the longevity of these timeless pieces. This unique visual appeal is a hallmark of the Van Den Berghe duo’s design language, which blends functional elegance with artistic flourishes.
