One of a kind design is a daring expression to use, especially in connection with 20th century design. However, it is difficult not to conjure up the expression in the case of this solid oak table.

In a rather distinctive way, softness and tradition merge in this coffee table. While it is elemental thanks to the solid oak and iron, the roundness of its top and its elegantly sculpted legs still provide a sense of gentleness. It is this well measured tension between the materials, textures, and colours that make the design eye-catching and infinitely interesting. Besides the decoratively used joinery, the wrought iron chains connecting the legs serve as the main visual elements of the design. Each leg is pierced through by a thick iron chain that is connected to a twisted piece connecting it to the leg across it. As such the iron structure is suspended between the four legs in an ‘X’ shape. From the charismatic patina to the artisan wrought chain, this detail is striking in every way and complements the otherwise smooth surface of the oak. The great sense of proportions evident in the design is thanks to these carefully measured elements, so that even with such outstanding features, the overall impression remains uncluttered, without a single unnecessary addition. Additionally, the beautiful qualities of the oak wood add am extra layer of interest, just as the craftsman’s handiwork.  Uniquely, the dowels used for joining the legs to the top are left visible, which enhances the raw, organic look.

As there are strong and distinctive details, this table model is a perfect accent table, while also being capable to complement its surroundings. It could fit well in a modern interior, as well as in a minimalist space.
