Impressive conference tables as works of art
Kauri-Conference tables combine monumental size with a serene presence. They are unique, limited-edition pieces with a rich history. The extraordinary size of the old Kauri trees allows for solid-wood tabletops carved from a single piece—a rarity on the international market. Such a table is functional and defines the space as a singular, curated object. It exudes prestige and character while maintaining a sense of calm.
A large “ Kauri ” conference table is a quiet, distinctive piece with a sculptural presence. Especially when the root and trunk come together in a single tabletop, or when the table’s length extends into the room, the piece takes on an object-like character that lies somewhere between design, craftsmanship, and art. The continuous grain and the dimensions of the wood give the table an extraordinary aura that cannot be replicated.
Kauri-Conference tables are particularly well-suited for:
The wood comes from very large trees in New Zealand’s preserved kauri stands. Swamp kauri, also known as “ Ancient Kauri ,” has been preserved in peat bogs and swamps over very long periods of time; the official range is approximately 800 to 60,000 years. This origin makes the material rare and of scientific and cultural-historical interest. This deep historical origin is a particularly strong factor in the uniqueness of these conference tables:
The wood carries a history that cannot be replicated. It is subfossil, extraordinary, and singular in this form.

Kauri It allows for monumental tabletops in sizes that are virtually impossible to achieve with other types of wood. In rare cases, these can reach up to 11 meters in length and 2 meters in width. Their artistic root structures also make them unique on an international scale. Such dimensions open up entirely new possibilities for exclusive conference rooms, executive areas, and prestigious meeting spaces.
They are not only functional but also lend a room structure, tranquility, and architectural order.
Root sections feature an impressive, artistic grain. Part of their appeal lies in their natural inclusions. Gold-colored, embedded amber, root bark stabilized with high-quality epoxy resin, and textured natural openings make “ Kauri ” conference tables design objects with an artistic flair. They are natural statements with extraordinary character and depth. The archaic, natural character is preserved, while the imposing piece is at the same time crafted for everyday use.
Depending on the raw material, the conference table is made from burl wood and/or trunk wood. Burl wood adds more movement, a more natural character, and often a more expressive look. Trunk wood has a calmer, more linear, and more architectural appearance.
Every “ Kauri ” conference table is custom-made. The dimensions, shape, materials, and base are tailored to each specific project. Each table is a modern, one-of-a-kind piece with its own unique structure—a custom-crafted, limited-edition piece of furniture with a traceable provenance, its own unique serial number, and a certificate of authenticity, which cannot be replicated.
Today, modern conference tables are often designed with built-in technology, cable management, and discreet connections. This functionality can also be incorporated into “ Kauri ” conference tables without detracting from the natural look of the wood.
