Our customers are already used to our solid oak tables having the most natural appearance possible. In practice, this has so far not only included the possibility of choosing the peeled edge, but also the visible annual rings and the special-looking resins appearing in the table top.
But a new era has arrived in interior design needs and trends to which we naturally adapt. The light, homogenous, almost raw-colored wooden surfaces of the dining table are becoming more and more popular among our customers, to which we respond with a more serious design update.
Although an oak table has a timeless appearance and is a choice for generations, in accordance with the current design approach, the shape and appearance of the surface change from time to time to some extent.
It is a sort of fine-tuning that we have carried out with the surface of our oak dining tables. This is a double win for our customers, since these innovations enrich our dining table collection with increased structural stability and wider areas of application. Overall, a cleaner, more uniform appearance will be reflected visually on the surface of our new oak tables. But let's see, what are these details that change the collection so much?
In the spirit of naturalness, EDELHOLZ oak dining tables have so far been characterized by consciously composed annual ring patterns appearing on the table surface, just like our wooden floors. However, the oak table tops in our new collection are made with a "standing annual growth ring" design. In practice, this means that the annual ring lines are visible in longitudinal lines from the grain of the tree. Thus, the surface remains natural, yet gives a more uniform visual appearance.
Table and counter surfaces made from one single length of wood
Our oak dining tables are made from one length of wood. This technology is not new in the world of EDELHOLZ, but it definitely distinguishes our products from other manufacturers, as we can create a much more elegant appearance this way than with the lengthwise extended versions. What is more, we can provide this elegance in extra-long sizes, even in a counter top design.
Extra-long oak counters and tables with an even more stable structure
This clean, even more elegant design also brought structural advantages. In addition to stability, we are also able to safely manufacture lengths that other manufacturers couldn’t even dream of. Just imagine, EDELHOLZ can produce you a kitchen counter up to 4 meters in length, which is made from one length of wood!
Solid oak planked table top design
EDELHOLZ's new oak table tops are made in a planked version, which design is visible only on the shorter side edges of the table. Here, depending on the thickness of the table top – which can be 6 or 4 centimeters thick – at the base of the wood, we can see the layers of the planked design, which elegantly adapts to the overall look of the oak dining table.
Stylish, less humidity-sensitive appearance
The stronger and more flexible planked design has another important advantage in addition to its clean appearance. And this is its reduced sensitivity to humidity. Although we at EDELHOLZ always believe that the feedback given by living, natural wood to our living spaces is particularly important – low humidity is both harmful to natural wood and to our health (we write about this in more detail here) – however, in response to the needs of our customers, we created a structure that better tolerates fluctuations in humidity.
With our new collection, our customers can simultaneously experience the usual EDELHOLZ naturalness, excellent quality and a look created with the latest aesthetic needs in mind!
