Rare solid-wood tables for Swiss and Austrian customers
Handcrafted Kauri tables for high-end Swiss and Austrian interiors, made from millennia-old burl wood—designed for living spaces, exclusive chalets, and conference areas. Each table is crafted from a unique natural formation and is individually tailored to the architecture, spatial impact, and materiality of the space. From the selection of the Kauri slab to on-time delivery and customs clearance, I personally oversee every project.
The Swiss interior design and project landscape places a strong emphasis on quality, design, and natural materials. In this setting, solid Kauri wood tables—with their rare origin, grand form, and striking presence—fit in particularly well and give the space a unique identity.
Exclusive designer tables, dining tables, and conference tables are made from unique natural materials:
In addition, each Kauri table is assigned a unique identification number, and the customer receives a certificate of age. These are characteristics that are difficult to achieve with other solid woods. This makes Kauri an ideal material for high-quality living spaces, dining areas, and elegant interiors.

A kauri dining table makes a particularly strong impression in private Swiss living spaces when the architecture, proportions, and materials are carefully chosen. As a master cabinetmaker, I craft custom kauri dining tables —often as one-of-a-kind pieces for open dining areas, spacious living rooms, private residences, or alpine homes such as chalets with a clean, minimalist design aesthetic. Kauri offers the perfect combination of size, tranquility, and an extraordinary wood grain to create a truly unique statement table.
In addition to residential projects, Kauri tables are also well-suited for sophisticated Swiss offices. For meeting rooms, exclusive executive areas, and high-end project environments, I can design Kauri conference tables so that they serve as standalone pieces of furniture that define your space while remaining functional—monumental, one-of-a-kind pieces crafted from large, unique tabletops carved from a single block of wood.
If you are interested, I offer collaboration opportunities with Swiss and Austrian interior designers, furnishing specialists, and architectural firms.
A kauri root table becomes a sculptural work of art in any room. In clean-lined Swiss interiors with understated architecture and clear spatial design, it serves as a unique piece that adds an extravagant touch. The artistic root structure of the large, one-piece tabletops and the distinctive wood grain make this solid wood table a truly special focal point.
Kauri wood comes from New Zealand and has been proven to be thousands of years old. Giant trees preserved in swamps provide large, solid-piece tabletops made from root and trunk wood in new dimensions, making each unique piece of kauri wood special and extraordinary. Kauri wood opens up new design possibilities in the Alpine region that other materials cannot offer.
More about the origin of kauri wood
In my view, what is particularly appealing to Swiss clients is the combination of custom craftsmanship, documented provenance, and personalized support. Added to this is the reliable handling of delivery, customs clearance, and installation, ensuring that your table arrives on time and as planned—all from a single source.
For shipments to Switzerland, I handle the entire process as part of the project. This includes the necessary customs documentation and thorough organizational preparation to ensure that your Kauri table arrives safely and with a clear audit trail. As of 2024, there are no longer any customs duties on furniture; the import tax in Switzerland is 8.1% and is calculated based on the value of the goods, including shipping. A possible VAT refund or a corresponding notation on the invoice can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Even for large formats and challenging construction situations, transportation, delivery, and installation are coordinated on a project-by-project basis. This also applies to chalets, upper floors, penthouses, and international projects.
If you are a Swiss customer looking for a handcrafted Kauri table, you can contact me directly. I’ll provide you with free, personalized advice on the tabletop, table frame, dimensions, design, delivery, and customs clearance, and use this information to develop a solution tailored to your needs for residential or commercial spaces. Once you place your order, I’ll craft your table to a high standard of quality in my workshop and deliver it to your home.
Project Inquiry: Custom Solid Wood Table, Switzerland
The long tradition of timber construction and craftsmanship in Switzerland and Austria—ranging from Alpine chalets to sleek country homes and high-quality interior finishes—provides a perfect setting for Kauri tables. The extraordinary Kauri wood brings a coveted rarity to this familiar wooden environment, contrasting this tradition with a material history that is internationally rare and dates back millennia. The result is a fusion of Swiss timber-building culture, natural warmth, and an extraordinary, internationally inspired one-of-a-kind piece.
Kauri tables fit in particularly well in settings where wood is viewed not only as a building material but also as a defining design element. In this context, they appear to be a contemporary continuation of the Swiss tradition of high-quality materials, clean lines, and enduring values.
