Mikal Dining Table (archetype)
Mikal Dining Table (archetype)
A modern dining table designed for hosting friends and family.
The prototype of the Mikal Dining Table is now available.
- Dimensions: 2400 x 1050 x 740mm.
- Material/finish: Natural White Oak.
This is one of one.
The difference between archetypes and made-to-order versions are minor. They are the roughly the same size, same materials, same finish. There may be some defects that have been repaired but are not visible.
This archetype comes with a five year warranty.

We source the highest grade solid timber available. Once the timber in our studio we carefully select for grain and colour match. No piece is the same, but each piece is a cohesive whole.

The Mikal Dining Table began with a simple question: can we design a modern communal dining table that's versatile enough for any large space? A six legged design was the answer.
-
Joinery is critical. More-so when it's visible. Combining machinery and hand tools was the answer to achieving precise joinery that can be enjoyed by anyone who sits at this table.
Questions
Will it fit in my space?
Generally speaking 900mm of clear space around a dining table is a good thing to have. The Mikal Table comes in two standard sizes:
- 8 seater (2400 x 1100mm) / total footprint: 4200 x 2900mm
- 10 seater (3000 x 1200mm) / total footprint: 4800 x 3000mm.
Will it fit through my door?
It should go through the front door without any issues. The top can be detached from the frame if necessary. The length of the legs is 700mm which will fit through most doors. The length of the top might be an issue in tighter spaces if it's going around a corner. If you have any doubts get in touch.
Is it difficult to install?
Our delivery service will take care of this for you. In some cases it will be delivered in one piece and placed exactly where you'd like it. If removing the top was necessary for delivery this will be attached to the frame by our delivery service.
Can you customise it?
Archetypes are one-offs. If you’d like a customised version this will need to be made to order. Please email your request and we’ll call you to discuss.
Who made it?
All Hey, Porter pieces are designed and made in our Nelson workshop. This ensures our stringent quality standards are met.
When will I get it?
This table is currently on display and is available to ship in May.
Is the timber sustainably sourced?
Our timber is sourced in the United States where trees are responsibly managed and being planted quicker than they are being felled. Tree volume increased 130% between 1953 and 2017. We are working with our suppliers to gain more information about the provenance of the material.
What finish do you use?
We use a plant-based oil made by Livos. The main ingredients are:
- linseed oil,
- lemon oil,
- beeswax,
- turpentine,
- orange oil and
- rosemary oil.
We can supply the full list of ingredients for these low-VOC oils on request.
How do I clean it?
Spills are best dealt with immediately. A slightly damp cloth followed by a clean, dry cloth should be sufficient. We can provide more information on how to care for your piece.
Can I return it?
Returns are not possible on archetypes.
Can I see this in person?
Yes — you’re welcome to visit us in the studio to look at the piece in person. Please email your request.
