What makes coffee tables so special?

Each person defines for themselves what they understand by extraordinary living room tables For us, it is Coffee table extraordinary when the table is unique and has an elegant design. Such one-of-a-kind pieces are handcrafted by small family businesses in Indonesia on the islands Bali and Java for us. With their rustic noble appearance, our solid wood tables enhance any living room.
What coffee table size is the right one?
- Distance: There should be about 45 cm of space between the couch and the coffee table. This ensures that all people can sit comfortably at the table without being too close or too far away from it. Additionally, there is enough space to walk past the table.
- Table size: A coffee table usually has the optimal size when it is one third or half the length of the sofa. Also, keep in mind that the appropriate height and shape of the coffee table also depend on the sofa. It should always be at least as high as the couch or a little taller. This also depends on how functionally one wants to use the table.
- Shapes: For U-shaped living landscapes, round or rectangular models are particularly suitable. L-shaped sofas are the „all-rounders“ for any table shape, as they leave plenty of space for the table, and the same applies to individual couch components.

Coffee tables from the WILD LANDSCAPE series
The coffee table WILD LANDSCAPE impresses with its unusual design and its handcrafted glass inlays made in freehand cut. The rectangular coffee table consists of three handcrafted wooden elements that represent a landscape, separated by two riverbeds made of glass inlays. These wooden elements are exclusively made from recycled wood from old houses and bridges on the islands of Java and Bali in pure handwork. Each individual table in this series has its own appearance, further emphasizing the unique features of the wood used and the handcrafted glass inlays. The table frame is made of brushed stainless steel, thus combining a mix of rustic, recycled wood with modern elements.

Living room table LAKESIDE made from a tree slice
This living room table is a creation of nature that presents the beauty and uniqueness of old naturally grown tree slices in a breathtaking way. In the series LAKESIDE we use high-quality leftover wood from discarded tree stumps, which are ultimately handcrafted into a unique tabletop. We do not use freshly cut woods, but exclusively old wood, thus reducing waste and the CO₂ footprint. The shape is determined by nature, as we leave the wood as natural as possible. Holes and growths are the highlight of the table and are adorned with glass inlays and joints. Each glass plate is cut by hand and fits perfectly into the natural shape of the tabletop. The table frames are available in stainless steel and raw steel, providing a beautiful contrast between wood and metal.
