The perfect solid wood table: Timeless, Stylish, and Durable

Solid wood tables from „Der Tischonkel“ by GERKEN Wohndesign are more than just pieces of furniture; they are timeless works of art made from solid wood that create a connection to nature while bringing functionality and aesthetics into your home. A Dining room table is not just a place to eat, but also a place for family game nights or cocktail evenings with friends. In this blog article we will discuss why a solid wood table is the perfect choice for your home and how to select the ideal solid wood table.

What should you consider when choosing?

• The choice of wood: There are many different types of wood to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics and aesthetics. Most of our solid wood dining tables are made from reclaimed Teak wood from the islands of Java and Bali. The reclaimed wood has a timeless wood coloration that fits almost any decor style. For our remaining products, we use sustainable fruit woods, including Suar, lychee, mango, and mahogany. The final choice of wood depends on your personal taste and your decor style.
• The design and size: The next step in selecting the perfect solid wood table is to consider the designs and the size. Think about where the table will be placed and how it fits into the room. The shape of the table can have a significant impact on the room layout. Round tables are cozier and promote communication, while rectangular tables offer more space and fit better in traditional dining rooms . Make sure the table is large enough to meet your needs. We also recommend that you carefully measure the available space to ensure that the table is not too large or too small. Now you just need to choose a design that matches your decor style. There is a wide range of styles, from rustic to modern, all of which can be made from solid wood.

• The craftsmanship and quality: The quality of a solid wood table depends on the craftsmanship and details. For this reason, we only use the highest quality solid wood and craft each table by hand. A high-quality varnish or wax (Clou) protects the wood from stains and scratches and ensures that the table brings you joy for decades.

Expression

The dining table „Expression“ is an impressive Designer table and certainly the most unusual table we have ever developed. Only one person in our production facility in Java has the craftsmanship skills to produce it. The tabletop consists of individually glued tree slices, whose shape and structure are determined by their origin. The Tree slices are sourced from old tree stumps and roots that come from areas of irresponsible deforestation of the teak forests of past decades. Today, these areas are being reforested, and the old tree remnants are removed to make way for new fauna. The wood is then handcrafted into a beautiful dining table with a live edge and glass inlay. The base of the dining table is crescent-shaped and can be chosen from stainless steel or raw steel. When you choose a dining table “Expression“, you acquire a piece of furniture that is unique and sustainable and will enrich your spaces with its aesthetics and appearance.
