Dining Table Sem Round | Solid Suar Wood & Teak Wood Leg

Dining Table Sem Round: where nature becomes sculpture

There are tables you buy for convenience, and there are tables you buy because they move you. The Dining Table Sem Round belongs to the second category. The solid round top of suar wood and the unique leg of stacked teak wood discs are two of the most beautiful woods in the world, brought together in a single piece of furniture that is both robust and refined. Crafted by hand, entirely handmade, every example different.

The top: solid suar wood with a unique grain

The round table top is cut from solid suar wood: also known as Munggur or Saman: a tropical hardwood from Indonesia with one of the richest wood structures in existence. The warm golden brown tones, the deep growth rings and the fine, organic grain pattern make every top a unique piece of nature. No two examples are alike.

Suar wood is not only beautiful but also strong: it is a dense, stable wood with little tendency to warp. The natural, matt finish allows the wood structure to show to full effect without anything distracting from the natural beauty of the material.

The leg: a sculpture of stacked teak wood discs

The most distinctive feature of the Dining Table Sem Round is undoubtedly the leg. Instead of four legs or a steel frame, the base is a solid cylinder of stacked teak wood discs: round, oval discs stacked by hand and fixed to one another to form a compact, sculptural column. The result recalls a stack of river pebbles, a tree trunk or a Japanese wooden drum: calming, powerful and entirely organic.

Teak wood is one of the most valued woods in the world. It is extremely hard, dense and naturally oily, which makes it resistant to moisture and wear. The warm brown colour with subtle grey tones matches the natural warmth of the suar wood top perfectly. Thanks to the stacked construction, every leg is a handmade piece of craftsmanship in its own right: labour intensive, but the result is unmatched.

A round table for connection at the table

The round shape is no accident. A round dining table has no head or foot end and so invites conversation on equal terms. Everyone sits well, everyone is visible, everyone is connected. As a result, the Dining Table Sem Round is at home not only as the centrepiece of a large dining room, but also in a cosy kitchen or dining corner where the company takes centre stage.

Thanks to its compact, columnar leg, there is more legroom all around than with four-legged tables: which makes drawing up a chair and moving about pleasantly easy.

Interior styles this table suits perfectly

• Wabi-Sabi: the Japanese principle of imperfect beauty. The wood, with its hollows, grain patterns and small irregularities, is right at home here.
• Japandi: the fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. The pure round shape and the natural wood fit in seamlessly.
• Ibiza & Mediterranean: earthy, warm, full of texture. The table feels like a find from a finca on the island.
• Natural living: the home as an extension of nature. Wood, stone, linen, rattan: the Dining Table Sem Round belongs in this company.
• Bohemian: eclectic and authentic. The table is strong enough to combine with a variety of chairs, fabrics and colours.

Styling tip

Combine the Dining Table Sem Round with a jute or rattan rug for a complete earthy atmosphere. Choose chairs in leather, wickerwork or linen fabric that support the natural look. A pendant light of paper, rattan or fabric: think of a capiz light or paper globe light: rounds off the picture in a warm way. Less is more: the table itself is the statement.

Maintenance

Wipe the table after use with a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately afterwards. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive products. The suar wood top benefits from an annual treatment with furniture oil or Skylt lacquer for optimal protection against stains and rings. Thanks to its high oil content, the teak wood leg needs hardly any extra maintenance; optionally a light treatment with teak oil once a year to preserve the deep colour.
