Sustainable dining tables made from tree roots

Extraordinary dining tables from GERKEN Wohndesign

Sustainable dining tables are not just a piece of furniture, but also a statement.

Teak wood is a popular material for making furniture, especially for dining tables. It is known for its durability, beauty, and natural resistance to moisture and pests. In this blog article we will take a closer look at some sustainable dining tables made from teak tree roots.

Dining tables made from teak tree roots are unique and stunning pieces of furniture that add a touch of naturalness and elegance to any room. These tables are made from the roots of teak trees that are usually left over after the tree is felled. Instead of disposing of these roots, we process them into beautiful dining tables.

No tree is cut down for our root tables made from reclaimed wood!

The Tree slices are sourced from old tree stumps and roots that come from areas of irresponsible deforestation of teak forests in past decades. Today, these areas are being reforested, and the old stumps and roots are removed from the ground to provide sufficient space for the new fauna to thrive.

Sustainable dining tables

Expression

A unique solid wood dining table

The dining table „Expression“ is our most extravagant table in our product range. The model series pays exact attention to ensuring that all special characteristics of the wood are preserved. This makes the solid wood table a sustainable piece of furniture, where nature is the designer. The tabletop consists of individually glued tree slices (Root wood teak), whose shape and structure are determined by their origin. By purchasing a dining table from our company, you not only expand your personal living ideas, but you also help protect existing forests. In doing so, you simultaneously support dozens of craftsmen on the islands Java and Bali, who create such beautiful furniture with their exceptional craftsmanship.

Table frame and glass inlays

When manufacturing the tabletop, we ensure that the naturally occurring tree edges in the wood remain intact in both indoor and outdoor areas. The resulting gaps are adorned with glass inlays produced by freehand cutting. The table frame in crescent shape can be optionally made from brushed Stainless steel or order in industrial design made of black drawn raw steel.

Eternia Roots

The dining table „Eternia Roots“ made of teak root is a so-called Root table. This is a dining table that we manufacture from solid teak roots. Each root table is unique, as each Tree root has its own unique shape and grain. By using reclaimed wood, this solid wood table gets its very special appearance. The handcrafted solid wood tabletop is connected with a beautiful glass insert and rests on a table frame made of stainless steel or raw steel in a cross shape. The milled glass inserts have a thickness of 10 mm.
