Anterre Table

Designed to embody both luxury and practicality, this three-meter oak dining table was crafted to meet the unique demands of a holiday rental while complementing its breathtaking surroundings. The client envisioned a table that would command attention without competing with the stunning views—a design that invites admiration yet seamlessly blends into its environment. The inspiration for this piece came from the Cornish landscape, known for its expansive horizons and intimate details. These contrasts are reflected in the table’s substantial proportions and carefully chosen materials. Measuring three meters in length, the table highlights the natural beauty of oak, inviting touch and exploration of its flowing grain. This generous surface creates an experience, encouraging guests to gather around and connect over shared moments. The table’s wide, sturdy legs, adorned with delicate knots, provide a sense of permanence and strength reminiscent of an ancient oak tree standing proud in a meadow. These natural features were intentionally preserved, adding character and grounding the piece with a connection to its roots. The design celebrates the resilience of the material while ensuring the table can endure the wear and tear of frequent use without losing its luxurious charm. To preserve the wood’s natural beauty and enhance its longevity, the table is finished with a UV-resistant coating. This finish not only protects the wood but also ensures its warm, natural tones remain vibrant for years to come, even in a space flooded with light. This table is more than furniture—it is a centrepiece designed to enrich the home. Much like the Cornish landscape that inspired it, it offers a balance of grandeur and approachability, creating a timeless focal point where memories can be made for generations.
