Hendricks Dining / Poker Table
A table with two lives. For dinner it is a solid round of figured wood, giving no sign of the second half of the evening. Then the plates are cleared, four stitched leather toggles turn beneath the rim, and the inner round revolves on its axis: polished wood gives way to felt, dinner to cards, without anyone leaving the room. The mechanism is simple; the change of character complete.
The playing face is finished in felt or leather. The felt is British, sourced by Kvadrat, in colors from the muted greens of a club library to navy and the deeper blues; the leather, for its hand and the way it takes on age.
The Hendricks comes in two geometries — round or octagonal — on three stand configurations: three legs, or four with bottom cross braces, or four legs standing clear. Shape and stand are not only a matter of looks; they decide how many sit down. A round top on three legs seats the most — an unbroken edge, and few legs to meet a knee. The octagon gives each guest a side of their own; a fourth leg adds a steadier stance. Each trades a chair or two for something else. Every Hendricks is made to order, its geometry, base, and diameter calibrated to the chairs you need, the room that holds them, and the nature of the gathering: a quiet dinner for four, or a long night that ends in someone's favor.
Leather is the more demanding choice on a large round. Felt comes off the bolt at 59″ without defect, and the inner round is sized to suit it — even on the larger tables the playing field is held within that width, so felt always covers it in a single clean piece. Leather has no such standard width: a field must be cut from a single hide, clear of the scars, brands, and range marks nature leaves on most, and large enough to yield the round whole. Size is the deciding factor. Two we'd point you to are the Torino and Avion lines from Garrett Leather, whose hides exceed 55 sf — though any collection that runs to a larger-than-average hide will serve as well.
