The perfect coffee table

What is meant by the perfect coffee table?

Finding the perfect Coffee table made of solid wood is often associated with a weeks-long search and several visits to different furniture stores. To give you a little support in your search, we have created a small guide to get to know our living room tables better. We have placed a special focus on two of our best-selling series and the custom size configurator.

What should I pay attention to when buying the perfect coffee table?

• Size and shape of the coffee table: First of all, you need to consider how much space you have available, and accordingly, you can decide on a coffee table size. Not only the size of the table is crucial here, but also the shape, as a round or organic table shape requires significantly more space than a rectangular or square coffee table. Another factor is the type of sofa; a U-shaped living landscape restricts a table much more than an L-shaped sofa or a couch made of several elements. Because, in principle, a living room table should always be about 45 cm away from the sofa and at least as high as the seat height or more.
• Quality and workmanship: If you want to buy a new coffee table, it should of course last a long time. High-quality wood aged 70–100 years and a „finishing“ with wax or varnish ensure that our coffee tables bring you joy for generations. We use products from Clou.
• The coffee table design: Coffee tables made of solid wood from GERKEN Wohndesign are design tables of the highest class. They impress not only with the high-quality material and sustainable production but also with a rustic and elegant natural design. In addition, each individual coffee table is handcrafted and, due to the properties of the wood, is a unique piece.
• Sustainability: Most of our coffee tables are made from recycled wood, which was predominantly burned or disposed of as waste after its previous use. This pollution with such a beautiful material was incomprehensible from our point of view. For this reason, we save the Old wood from this fate, and small family businesses in Indonesia process the wood for us with their unique craftsmanship into stunning pieces of furniture.

Round coffee table Sunrise: Round and elegant!

The round coffee table „Sunrise“consists of an extraordinary tabletop with a thickness of about 8 to 10 cm, made from reclaimed wood. The wood for the coffee table from the root trunk of a teak tree is taken from the soil in the reforestation process. This gives new trees the opportunity to grow optimally. A cross-section of the wood is handcrafted. Tree root cut out and handcrafted by our Indonesian partner companies into an extraordinary solid wood table. In the finishing process, the table is sanded and waxed or lacquered to make the material more resilient and durable. Finally, the wood is combined with a handcrafted glass insert and a custom-made table frame. The combination of the different elements and the beautiful wood make this Coffee table the „eye-catcher“ of any living room.

The coffee table „11. Rectangular coffee tables with tree edge Eos“is a highlight for any home. With its functional shape and elegant solid wood look it is a unique piece of furniture.
