Product Description

Two Slabs. One Statement.

The Elegante collection features premium handcrafted dining and statement tables made from two solid hardwood slabs joined to create a refined natural centrepiece. Each table celebrates the organic grain, texture, and character of genuine timber — combining contemporary craftsmanship with long-term durability.

Design Features

Crafted with Intention

Natural Grain & Resin Fills
Knots, cracks and natural splits are preserved and filled with translucent resin — celebrating the wood's character rather than concealing it. Walnut can feature dramatic, pool-like resin expanses as a defining design statement.
Two-Slab Construction
Book matched or grain-aligned joining creates a seamless centrepiece. Precision-machined and hand-finished surfaces throughout.
4-Bracket Stability System
Four precision-placed steel brackets span the 10mm gap between the two slabs, distributing weight to minimise flex and warp. Visible but minimal — they blend cleanly into the join line.
Three Leg Styles
Available with Trapezium, X-Frame, or Inverted Trapezium steel legs — all powder-coated matte black and bolt-on for easy assembly.
Natural Osmo Oil Finish
Finished with our in-house Natural Osmo Oil formula — a hand-applied, multi-stage process that nourishes the timber, enhances its natural colour, and provides long-term water and stain resistance.
Responsibly Sourced
All timbers sourced from FSC-certified responsibly managed forests. Low-VOC finishing products throughout.

Available Timbers

Three Distinct Characters

Each timber species brings its own colour palette, grain character and natural beauty to the Elegante table. All are sustainably sourced, FSC-certified hardwoods. The top views below show the natural slab profiles as they arrive — no two pieces alike.

Oak
European White Oak  ·  Croatia  ·  Quercus Robur
Oak two-piece table top view
Natural Slab Profile  ·  Top View
Warm golden-amber tones from the forests of Croatia, with prominent open grain, cathedral patterns and medullary rays. Oak develops occasional cracks and knots which are filled with translucent resin — adding subtle character while preserving the natural surface.
Lengths: 1600 - 4200 mm
Ash
European Ash  ·  Croatia  ·  Fraxinus Excelsior
Ash two-piece table top view
Natural Slab Profile  ·  Top View
Lighter, creamy-blonde tones from the forests of Croatia, with a clean straight-to-wavy grain that reads as refined and contemporary. Ash is the purest natural wood expression in the Elegante range — relatively free of knots and cracks, it rarely requires resin fills, letting the wood speak for itself.
Lengths: 1600 - 4200 mm
Walnut
Black Walnut  ·  North America  ·  Juglans Nigra
Walnut two-piece table top view
Natural Slab Profile  ·  Top View
Rich chocolate-brown to espresso tones from North America, with dramatic grain, natural figuring and deep character. Walnut is our most resin-expressive species — large translucent pools can span the width of a slab, creating almost pool-like voids of resin that are one of the collection's most striking design features. Highly prized and deeply luxurious.
Lengths: 1600 - 4200 mm

Natural Material — What to Expect

  • Knots, cracks and natural splits are filled with translucent resin
  • Walnut can feature dramatic, large-scale resin pools — a defining design feature
  • Oak typically has occasional cracks and knots with targeted resin fills
  • Ash is usually the most natural — minimal to no resin, clean and pure
  • Resin quantity varies for every individual table regardless of species — a log that is usually clean could be full of resin, and vice versa. No guarantees on resin level can be made
  • Grain variation, tonal differences and medullary rays are natural and expected
  • Colour deepens and mellows with UV exposure over time
  • Each table is completely unique — shape, width, knots, cracks and resin are all different

Technical Dimensions

A–B Distance & Seating

Leg Spacing & Seating Capacity

The A–B distance is the clear internal measurement between the two leg frames — the usable under-table space that determines how many seats can comfortably fit along each side. Use the table below alongside the diagram to plan your seating layout before ordering.

4200 mm2540 mm ★

What is the A–B Distance?

The A–B distance is the clear internal gap between the inside faces of the two leg frames, measured along the length of the table.

This measurement tells you exactly how much legroom and seating space sits between the legs. As a general guide, allow 600 mm per person along each side when planning your seating layout.

Leg frames are always positioned with an equal setback from each end of the tabletop.

A-B distance diagram

A–B = Clear internal leg spacing

★ Tables 3200 mm and Above — Extra Seating Outside the Legs

On tables 3200 mm (3.2 m) and longer, the leg frames are positioned further apart, leaving enough clearance for seats to be placed at the outside ends of each leg frame as well as between them. This means you can seat additional guests at the ends of the table beyond the legs — significantly increasing seating capacity compared to shorter tables.

When planning your seating for a 3.2 m+ table, allow for end seats positioned outside the legs on each side in addition to the standard between-leg seating shown by the A–B distance above.

★ Highlighted rows in the table above indicate lengths where outside-leg end seating applies.

Care & Maintenance

Looking After Your Table

Solid hardwood is a living material. Proper care will maintain the beauty and structural integrity of your Elegante table for generations.

01
Daily Cleaning
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Wipe up spills promptly. Avoid leaving wet items on the surface for extended periods.
02
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use abrasive cleaners, bleach or solvent-based products. Use only mild soap diluted in water if required.
03
Heat & Coaster Protection
Always use coasters under glasses and heat protection pads under hot dishes. Solid timber is vulnerable to heat marks and moisture rings.
04
Re-oiling
For hardwax oil finished tables, re-oil periodically — typically once or twice a year depending on use — to maintain the surface.
05
Indoor Use Only
Designed exclusively for indoor use. Maintain recommended humidity of 40 - 60%. Avoid direct prolonged heat or sunlight exposure.
06
Timber Movement
Solid hardwood will naturally expand and contract with seasonal humidity. This is normal and accommodated within the table's construction.

Environmental Conditions

Maintain indoor relative humidity of 40 - 60%. Avoid placing the table near radiators, air conditioning units, or in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Solid timber is sensitive to extreme or rapid changes in environmental conditions. Colour changes over time with UV exposure are a natural characteristic of solid hardwood, not a defect.

Warranty & Certification

Month Manufacturer's Warranty
Full manufacturer's warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. Natural timber characteristics — grain variation, knots, colour movement — are inherent features, not defects.
