I absolutely love that table. I do not like those chairs for it. I think that you need chairs with a more rustic appearance to soften the lines of the table.

I like it and I think it would look good with those chairs.
It looks really heavy and which might scare me a little bit, but that is probably because I have some lingering anxiety over the fact that the movers never showed up last time we moved and I would never be able to move that thing by myself.
The table is nice. How heavy is it? I don't know if I love the bent plywood chair with it though. IMO, it needs something bright around it. Maybe an Eames type molded plastic chair in a bright color.

LOVE the table. I also love the wood chairs, but with the amount of wood in your apartment I would go with something bright and fun for the chairs. Especially if your floors are a similar color to the chairs you posted. I'm afraid they'd just blend into the floor.
ETA: Unless you are putting a big, bright area rug under the table, then those chairs would be fine.
I love the cement table it's fantastic. Personally I would want to pair it with a fabric or leather chair to mix up the textures more. I also dislike metal, plastic and hard wood chairs since I have a sensitive bottom.
This might not be to your taste but I would like the ones in the link above in a mid century style space. It's a Canadian brand so I know that doesn't help you much.

Hmm, I actually don't love the table for some reason. It just seems too stark aesthetically and heavy overall. I know you said you have a lot of it, but if you are using a rug underneath, I actually think you'd be better off using the wood for the table and going industrial with chairs. And I wouldn't match the chairs. Get 6 different styles and have them painted the same color tie them in.
CB2 is my crack. I love that table and how it looks with that room.
That being said, remembering the little that I saw when you posted pics of your new apartment, I'm going to say no. While having some industrial elements, it's not going to go well (especially with the rest of your furniture, if I remember it correctly).
