A small dining room or a set of small dining furniture, typically found in apartments or kitchens.
French word 'dînette,' a diminutive of 'dîner' (dinner), from Old French 'disner.' It became popular in English during the early 20th century when compact apartment living became more common.
The dinette became iconic in 1950s American homes and represents a shift toward smaller living spaces—it's the furniture that tells the story of how we stopped having formal dining rooms and started eating breakfast in kitchens.
