A coffee table that blends natural curves with modern angles.
We created the Camphor Laurel Coffee Table after we acquired several slabs of camphor timber from a couple who were preparing to downsize their home. They'd had the slabs cut and milled from a tree on their property with dreams of making it into fine furniture. With this in mind, we wanted to create some furniture out of the slabs that honoured their intent.
Therefore, we created a classic slab coffee table top, retaining the soft curves of the natural edge along one side. Then we added a modern twist with trapezoidal shaped legs. A curved inlay through the top was added for contrast to the natural patterns in the camphor laurel. The wax oils used to finish the table top bring out the beautiful patterns of the camphor laurel grain and create a smooth yet durable surface.
