Plank table

This is not just a table. It is a piece of art in solid Indian palisander (Sheesham), also known as Indian rosewood, with the wood's characteristic golden stripes. There is only this one.

Use it as a dining table. Use it as a desk. Or hang it on the wall like a painting.

This particular tableThe dark heartwood is a deep reddish brown, almost cognac-coloured. Through it run broad stripes of pale, straw-yellow sapwood along the length, like rivers through a landscape, and in one of them the wood has a silvery-grey sheen. Between the stripes the grain winds like flames, and a few small dark knots are scattered across the top – one with a small open hole. One long side has a gentle wave, following the shape of the tree.

No two tables are alikeThe wood draws its own pattern, so this table exists only once – unique and exclusive, yet still a table for everyday use. It is solid wood all the way through, not veneer. Veneer is a thin layer of wood glued onto a cheap board: it cannot be sanded, and a deep scratch or water damage stays for good. Solid wood can be sanded and refreshed, so the table lasts for generations and will look just as timeless and elegant in twenty years.

An investment, not just a purchaseThe wood has already lasted more than 50 years, and it will last for generations more. Solid wood without lacquer can be sanded down and cared for again, so the table can be used, worn and renewed, time and again. It grows more beautiful with the years.
