CHIC HOLIDAY DINING FOR TWO OR TWELVE

"Absolutely, bring your friend," I said to my cousin the day before Thanksgiving. I nervously looked over my climbing guest list. With very limited space (NYC apartment) and a growing list, I wasn't sure if some guests would be forced to eat in the hall closet by the time Thanksgiving rolled around. That was years ago, and while I'm a firm believer in the "more is merrier" adage, there is now a chic alternative to seating at a lowly metal folding table. Italian design house Ozzio has developed a series of gorgeous console tables that feature a telescopic mechanism and three extension leaves which allows the console to convert to dining for 12 in moments. With several sleek and modern tables in the line to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect one to seat your guests in style this holiday season.

HOLIDAY DINING FOR TWO OR TWELVE

"Absolutely, bring your friend," I said to my cousin the day before Thanksgiving.  I nervously looked over my climbing guest list. With very limited space (NYC apartment) and lots of family and friends, I wasn't sure if people would be eating in the tub by the time Thanksgiving rolled around.  That was years ago, and while I'm a firm believer in the "more is merrier" adage, there is now a chic alternative to the lowly metal folding table. Italian design house Ozzio has developed a gorgeous console table that features a telescopic mechanism and three extension leaves which allows the console to convert to dining for 12 in moments.  The aluminum table comes in glossy black, white and a smart wood and metal finish. Chic and stylish design-I'll take one for the holidays!
