The dining table was probably designed by the artist and interior designer Harry Röneholm (1892–1951). Veneered in curly birch, the table and also the chairs were made by Kerava Joinery. The distinctive curly grain of the wood, known as masur, is a malformation found in hardwood trees. Measuring a full 12 metres in length, the table can seat 32 people. The chairs and the intarsia table along the walls were made at the end of the 19th century in Europe, all in late Baroque style.

The samovar was made after 1895, probably in the early 1900s. The vases at the back of the room are examples of 19th-century Chinese export porcelain, produced in Canton around 1820–1850. Highly sought-after Chinese porcelain often featured in the decor of the homes of affluent Europeans as a sign of good taste. The lion-shaped candleholders from the late 19th century in front of one of the windows are by the French designer Émile Gallé (1846–1904).
