I also like the provincial chair, although it's a more relaxed country style than the table, which I also love. This is really interesting and is a statement on it's own, obviously it needs chairs so I would suggest a relaxed but formal upholstered chair, something like a all back wihtout arms, with a nice fabric will accentuate the interesting geometry in the table frame. If you were to include chairs like the cross back, they would both fight each other visually as they have different styles and both are timber sections. Busy to look at. You mentioned balck or oak, both are gorgeous, oak can be found almost black as it's so popular. There aresome gorgeous chairs which have a curved side and are upholstered, so they feel like lounge chairs but tuck into a dining table. Coco republic have them, and the style is found replicated almost anywhere you look.

Not sure if you can make you current table height adjustable and what's involved with making the banquette wide enough for lounging but here are some pictures. Places that fit out caravans etc might be able to help with the mechanism for the table and don't forget that stools can double as seating and tables too for added functionality as per this recent Houzz article..[Ultimate secret decorating weapon[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/is-this-the-ultimate-secret-decorating-weapon-stsetivw-vs~55543429).

Your home looks lovely. Ideas that come to mind for your 'dining' room include a sewing room, craft room, reading nook or children's playroom with a day bed but any of those ideas will only work if you have use for them. I know you have said you don't want another sitting room but my instinct would be a pair of wicker chairs, a jute mat, a small side table and some indoor greenery - essentially making a summer sitting room/reading room. With regards to your coffee table, perhaps include some texture. Either a mat under the bowl or fill the bowl with brush balls or something similar. Otherwise it appears to work well with your other furnishings and style.
