Coffee table made of oak

Construction of coffee table made of oak

We were requested to create a custom construction of a coffee table made of oak. The construction was made according to the design provided by the client. The form of the table consists of semi-circular forms. To create these semi-circular forms, we made special square section timber blocks from plywood using the laminating technique. These pieces have been machined with special cutting tools to obtain the desired radius on both outer and inner side,too. After creating the main form of the table, we lined it with oak veneer where the grains of the wood "run" all around the perimeter of the furniture, creating an effect of a single wooden surface. The interior of the coffee table allows for storage and serves as a  shelf, and is equally lined in oak. The legs were made of solid oak while its aesthetics is  based on Mid Century Modern forms. The coffee table was imbued with a paint of the client's choice , to give it a darker shade , and finished with acrylic glaze matte (non yellowing). Its dimensions are 118*70*45cm (W*D*H*W).
