Vintage denotes something that is authentic from an era from the past, that was not made to imitate items of the past. This lovely coffee table exudes that charm that surrounds authentic pieces, with traditional woodworking techniques and an artisan level of craftsmanship.

In most European mid-century design, there was an early emphasis on wood as it connected everyday objects, such as furniture to nature. This rustic, solid wood coffee table is a perfect example of this sentiment, and the visual benefits of an understated, organic design. This coffee table follows the fundamental mid-century design principles; the simple design serves the purpose of showing the understated beauty of natural materials and their endless possibilities under the hands of an expert craftsman. The design is pared-down and uncluttered with unnecessary ornamentation. Instead, this table has a strong elemental feel to it, which is a result of its thick oval top, sturdy block legs, and of course, the dark charred surface treatment. The focus is entirely on the material, its raw surface and joinery techniques are kept simple to show off the beautiful grain and diverse patterns. The charred surface allows the individuality of the wood to stand out, allowing the eye to explore the depth of the texture with its various patterns and naturally occurring cracks. The height of the robust legs perfectly shows off the top, while their shape creates balance between the round and straight lines of the design.

The imperfections of the wood and the simple, organic design paired with the charring treatment makes this table stand out with an elemental edge. Its deep dark colour makes it easy to adapt to almost any interior to either complement a space, or to stand as an accent piece.
