Veritable Tables

Veritable Tables

Our tables are designed and built to last. Their beauty is about the honesty of the material, robustness and simplicity of design. They each have a soul.

Honesty. Unlike manufacturers using ‘glulam’ technology (making larger members of small pieces of wood), most elements of our tables are made of a single piece of wood. Tabletops may be the only exception, where to achieve a wide surface, we would glue two large pieces of wood together. This technique helps to reduce natural tension within the wood structure, preventing bending and cracking.

Our tables are made of wood from verified, sustainable sources. The trees are felled in winter when the topsoil is frozen, often covered with snow, which minimises damage to the forest floor caused by fallen trees and heavy mechanical equipment. Falling trees in winter have less impact on the living environment, avoiding the breeding season of birds and other animals.

Trees cut in cold months have less ‘juices’ and therefore their wood is easier to dry, and less likely to distort or crack later. It is also better protected from fungal diseases and is more resistant to wood pests.

Robustness. We want these tables to last for decades. This is our belief in sustainability, in creating memories, in bonding generations. This is why they are designed to be solid, heavy, robust and unbreakable. Thick tops and simple finish enable repairs such as sanding, further extending their lifespan.

The design is an outcome of a close collaboration with experienced joiners. They are assembled using a combination of traditional and modern techniques, always with the longevity goal in mind.

Simplicity. As architects we love simplicity. ‘Less is more’ said Mies van der Rohe, the father of modernism. For us, modern is a new classic. It never ages. There are trends, fashions, and styles, they come and go, but the designs always come back to principles of classic or modern. There is even the phrase; ‘classic modern’. Simple modern furniture adapts and complements almost any interior. It is timeless. It is a statement.

Soul. All our tables are made by experienced, talented and passionate craftsmen. The makers simply love what they do and could talk about wood and furniture all day. But they actually prefer making them.

It is not mass production. Each table has its unique number. We keep several types and sizes in stock, however, most tables will be custom-made for you. Please do not hesitate to contact us for special orders, different sizes or finishes.
