Koes Table

This bespoke Oak dining table was thoughtfully designed to bring both beauty and resilience to a vibrant family and social space. The client’s vision was clear—they needed a table with real character, one that could stand up to the demands of daily family life while seamlessly hosting gatherings and celebrations. With its light and open interior, the room called for a commanding centrepiece—a table that unifies the space and enriches the heart of the home. Creating this piece was a journey deeply rooted in care and attention to detail. It began with sourcing the perfect timber for the legs, which were destined to be the defining feature of the table. After an exhaustive search, I selected extraordinary oak, felled just two miles from my client’s home. This connection to place not only imbues the table with a sense of heritage but also highlights the importance of working with locally sourced, sustainable materials. The legs were designed to create a striking wraparound effect, ensuring that the wood’s natural beauty was showcased from every angle. The thoughtful angle and joinery preserve the unique character of the timber—its knots, grain, and textures—allowing its story to shine through. This design choice ensures the table is not just functional but a true piece of art. To protect and enhance the table’s organic charm, I finished it with a natural blend of oils and waxes. This family-safe matte surface provides durability and longevity while preserving the wood’s tactile quality and understated elegance. This table isn’t just furniture—it’s a timeless narrative told in wood. From shared meals to moments of celebration, it’s crafted to grow with the family, becoming a witness to their story. Its sturdy presence will carry generations of memories, all while maintaining its beauty and purpose.
