Visit me in my showroom
In order to save you, as interested parties from southern Germany and Luxembourg, from Switzerland and Austria, a long journey to me in the manufactory in Goch on the Lower Rhine, I offer you the opportunity to make an appointment in the showroom. This is located in Graach on the beautiful Middle Mosel.
Here I show you Kauri designer tables with different natural characteristics to show you the variety of the beautiful millennial Kauri wood. You can decide whether you prefer a Kauri table made of a solid tree trunk with a calm appearance or a root table with distinct natural characteristics. With the help of pictures I will show you my stock of unprocessed table tops. From this you can choose a table top for your exclusive designer wooden table or dining table. Subsequently, I will design your new table for you in my manufactory with craftsmanship and high quality to a natural work of art.
The exclusive Kauri dining table made of solid root wood is incorporated under the kitchen worktop made of high-quality and pollutant-free solid surface material and can be pulled out if necessary. Thus, the usable area can be extended and the space available is increased if, for example, visitors are announced.
As a sample table on the wall, a Kauri table top made from a tree trunk with a calm aura.
Using the following table tops in the showroom with the different natural characteristics, I will show you the special features of the individual tops, my working method and the surface coatings:
Wooden tables made from the kauri root are special and rare individual pieces. Fascinating natural features in the grain characterise these precious table tops.
The massive root of the thousand-year-old Kauri tree is ideal for an extraordinary unique designer wooden table and exclusive work of nature art. The primeval root plates show the typical changeable growth in all directions. In the finished treated tabletop, this is reflected in a fascinating appearance in the form of color changes and an optical three-dimensional valley and mountain landscape. In addition, the natural inclusions refined with epoxy resin, in the untreated blank partly crumbly with the original gold-colored amber contained in it, form a unique look. And the naturally grown openings in the table top filled with epoxy resin resemble beautiful lake landscapes.
The natural beauty and fascination of the pristine Kauri wood is shown here to a special degree.
This root table top of a designer wooden table in the size 220 x 120 x 7 cm is grown unglued in one piece and 2995 years old. Loose and ingrown bark parts I have poured with transparent epoxy resin so that they are solidified and remain visible.
I filled the ends with epoxy resin so that the top is roughly rectangular. According to your wishes, I leave the table top in its original growth with curves and natural edges on the outer edges.
The beautiful natural growth of a kauri root is clearly visible on this plate.
As a special feature, the plate contains, as is usual for Kauri root plates, tree resin that has hardened over the millennia to amber. These natural elements shimmering gold in the epoxy resin offer a fascinating eye-catcher in the solid Kauri root wood.
Due to the artificial drying of the table tops to approx. 8% wood moisture, which I carry out before processing, many small cracks occur in all directions due to the typical root growth, which I fill by hand with epoxy resin and thus solidified and are part of the typical root characteristics. The drying of the large massive table tops, which are grown in one piece, to living room level is inevitable because otherwise this drying process takes place after one or two heating periods at the customer and the table top then begins to crack and warp. In connection with a high-quality surface coating, I achieve a very high quality level from which you benefit as a customer.
With this high-quality workmanship, a designer wooden table grown from a root can also serve as a long-lasting dining table every day, and at the same time is an exceptional natural work of art and limited edition unique piece.

I made this root tabletop especially to measure for the kitchen. It can be slid in and out from under the kitchen worktop and also turned forwards, so that the usable surface of the dining table can be enlarged or reduced as desired. This technology can be integrated when planning a new kitchen. Depending on the design of the kitchen, e.g. with a cooking island, the dining table can also be pushed in completely or partially and pulled out again when needed. A technical and individual highlight that gives you a great deal of flexibility.
According to the age certificate from the Leibniz Laboratory for Age Research in Kiel, the tabletop is 47,000 years old. I filled the naturally grown openings with epoxy resin and left the natural edges as they were or sanded them down to a soft feel.
A special natural feature is the branch that protrudes from the root. I wanted to preserve this unique eye-catcher permanently and cast it in epoxy resin.
I made this extravagant coffee table from a piece of kauri root. The original natural edges with the haptically softly polished hand flatterers give the coffee table a special touch and striking natural characteristics that make the table unique.
I had a master locksmith make the stainless steel base for this coffee table to match the interior design of the showroom. It is kept discreet so that the massive root tabletop is particularly well accentuated.
For each Kauri wood table, I always have the leg frame made according to your wishes to match the table. As a rule, these are arranged in the middle of the tabletop to ensure as much legroom as possible and to show off the beautiful Kauri wood to its best advantage. The materials available for the base are glass, raw steel and stainless steel, in exceptional cases also Kauri wood. During a visit to the showroom, I will show you the possible variations with the help of pictures and advise you in this regard.
I have given the surface of the coffee table a thin, matt and natural-looking finish. For all Kauri wood tables, I use a special process that protects the surface for a long time. The top structure of the wood is hardened to make it more resistant to scratches and moisture. The surface is resistant to water, alcohol and grease. Even liquids that stand on the surface of the table overnight do not leave any curls or stains.
I will be happy to show you the different surface finishes in detail on the sample table tops.
As the name suggests, the solid table top of the tree trunk table is cut from the tree trunk. Each tabletop is unique, grown in one piece without glue and the grain runs continuously over the entire surface. It usually runs straight along the length of the tabletop, creating a calm and even appearance. The individual growth of the tree is what gives the noble tree trunk tables their charm and character. Occasional knots can occur, rather rare with kauri wood, here in the table top rather an exception.
The natural edges are more pronounced on the tree trunk table than on the root table, often these edges also form the outer edges of the tree and are therefore also called tree edges.
The historical story of the mighty massive Kauri trunks is carried on through craftsmanship, a wealth of experience, attention to detail and care as a unique wooden table.
Kauri wood with an appropriate moisture-resistant surface coating is very suitable as a cover for bathroom furniture and as a support for the washstand. Here, a top made of the tree trunk with its calm radiance and warm colouring is recommended as a washstand and thus forms a beautiful contrast to the mostly neutral colours in the bathroom.
From 20 - 22 October 2023 I will exhibit my handmade work at the "Gustav" in Dornbirn in Austria near the Swiss border. Here, everything revolves around the beautiful, the unique and the pleasure. Products made with love, vision and sustainability.
I would like to address interested parties and interior designers from Austria, Switzerland and southern Germany. Come and get to know my fancy furniture and tables in a personal conversation.
After your visit to my showroom near Luxembourg, I will manufacture a unique designer wooden table and unique table with a certificate in my workshop in Goch on the Lower Rhine according to your wishes and with high quality features - handmade in Germany. I produce exclusive tables for you that cover all areas of life:
For your desired table, you have the choice, as described above, whether I make your table top from a naturally striking root or from a solid tree trunk with a calm and evenly running wood grain.
One advantage to purchasing a wooden table made from the millennial Kauri wood may be that they become future tangible assets with inflation protection as an alternative to stocks, gold and precious metals and real estate. Several aspects suggest that Kauri tables will be value-adding natural works of art in the next generation, much like antique furniture is today.
As the Kauri wood is finite as a high quality raw material and cannot be salvaged from the swamps of New Zealand in the future, no new tables will be made from Kauri wood. As a result, they are limited and can become sought-after collector's items.
Other aspects are: each Kauri table is a unique specimen with a corresponding seal with unique number, the processing of the table tops is of high quality, the solid table tops are strong enough to be able to renovate them in the future if necessary several times so that they are as good as new again, each Kauri wooden table is exclusive and gets a certificate that gives information about the age and origin of the table top.
With a Kauri designer wooden table you create a unique natural work of art that you can use every day and at the same time is a future asset.

As a new room concept, a partner and master carpenter made a wall cupboard that serves as a separation between two rooms. Such a built-in cupboard can ideally be included in the planning of a new building. In this way, you save on the cost of a wall and at the same time use the space otherwise required by the wall (approx. 13 - 25 cm) for the wall cupboard.
This is made to measure by my partner and individually according to your wishes.
Here, a sliding door separates the room and wardrobes and drawers are integrated that can be used on both sides.
So we offer you a complete living and room concept, equipped with individual and high-quality built-in furniture and artistic designer tables made of the thousand-year-old Kauri wood. During a detailed discussion in the showroom on the Moselle near Luxembourg, I will be happy to explain the possibilities that the most underestimated craft offers you.
