Formica tables for sale at Vinterior
On the hunt for some great quality furniture for your kitchen or living room? Find dining tables, desks, side tables, coffee tables, worktables and more amongst our wide range of Formica tables. This highly functional and hard wearing material has been used to make furniture since the early 1900s.
So what is Formica? Formica laminate is a composite material that was invented in the U.S. in 1912. It’s made from layers of plastic that are bonded to chipboard or thick paper to create Formica’s hard, durable surface. It became a hit in the 1940s and 50s for use in tables, chairs and sideboards. Formica is a highly practical material that can be made to look many different ways, as you’ll see with the wide variety of Formica table tops in our collection. Splashes of colour and modern patterns appear alongside Formica tables that look just like real oak or walnut wood. These are made from Formica woodgrain laminate, a genius invention that looks just like the real thing but is much more resistant to heat and damage than natural wood.
Our Formica table collection
Round, square, rectangular. Large, compact. Low, high. Our Formica tables and chair sets come in all shapes and sizes. Most are light and slim due to the modern materials used. This makes them useful for creating contemporary interiors. Our range contains plenty of designer Formica drop-leaf tables to elevate your space. Take a look at our 1930s Italian tables by Osvaldo Borsani in art deco style. Or perhaps choose a more modern piece with geometric detailing by Italian designer Ettore Sottsass.
Formica collectables
Mid century furniture is highly collectable because of its timeless nature which means it slots seamlessly into a range of decors including traditional, industrial and contemporary. Achieve a 1950s kitchen style by combining one of our Formica folding tables with a set of 1950s Tolix chairs and other 1950s style furniture. After something particular? Many of our Formica tables have handy features like wheels and removable legs for easy transportation. Plus in-built storage including shelving and drawers. If you often like to change the size of your table, look for one with extending tabs.
Formica table tops
Formica is a highly functional material that’s excellent for making kitchen countertops and table tops. It’s heat resistant and easy to wipe clean. Many of the tables in our Formica range are made with mixed materials, typically with a wooden lacquered base and a Formica table top. Look out, too, for mid century styles that combine chrome legs with a coloured Formica table top. Want some more Formica?
