Kauri Root Tables – Exclusive Natural Shapes with an Artistic Touch

Unique wooden tables with distinctive features

Tables made of rare wood

Kauri-Root tables are crafted from an exceptionally rare natural material. The imposing root sections, which have grown over millennia, allow for large-format tabletops—with vibrant textures, organic lines, and a depth that hardly any other solid wood can offer in this form. Particularly distinctive are the embedded amber and resin sections, which give each table its unique character. The result is a collection of exclusive tables with an impressive presence and the quality of works of art.

Large-format root tables made from a single piece

Kauri-Root wood allows for large-format tabletops made from a single piece, which are rarely possible at this scale. The natural grain creates texture, depth, and organic contours. The result is not a manufactured surface, but a unique table with a natural character and strong personality.

Amber, bark fragments, and natural openings

A distinctive feature of many “ Kauri ” root tables is the naturally embedded, golden-colored amber sections, pieces of bark, and natural openings. Together, they create a surface with depth, light, and a vibrant texture. These features are carefully stabilized and refined to preserve their original character and ensure that the table can be reliably used as a sturdy dining table in everyday life.

A sculptural presence that bridges the gap between furniture and an unconventional art object

The organic form of the “ Kauri ” root wood gives every table a distinctive presence. Natural openings, amber-colored areas, and organic lines make each piece a one-of-a-kind work that transcends mere functionality and is perceived as a design and art object in its own right. The result is striking tables that exude a powerful presence, tranquility, and depth.

Handcrafted and built to last

Kauri ’s massive burl wood, with its archaic structure featuring loose and brittle areas, requires a great deal of manual labor and a keen sense of the material. The unique character of Kauri ’s burl wood is achieved only through precise craftsmanship, drying, a smooth surface, and dimensional stability. The burl table not only impresses with its charm but also remains reliable and easy to care for in everyday use.
