Solène Solid Wood Dining Table
Solid wood, sculptural calm - without the atelier markup.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and wipe spills promptly with a barely damp one - no harsh or abrasive cleaners. Use coasters and trivets under hot or wet items, and keep the table out of prolonged direct sunlight. Solid wood develops a gentle patina over time; that is the wood doing its job.
Why is it less?
The same piece as the handcrafted solid-wood column tables of New York's design ateliers - sourced honestly.
The original of this silhouette starts at $4,500 through a New York design house. Ours is turned from the same kiln-dried American hardwood by a family woodshop, hand-finished, and shipped direct - so you pay for the table, not the atelier's address.

We go to the maker
We commission directly from the atelier behind the handcrafted solid-wood column tables of New York's design ateliers.
We hold the spec
The same materials and construction. We never substitute a cheaper version.
We remove the markup
No gallery, no showroom rent, no licensing fee - only the cost of materials and craftsmanship.
Attention to detail
What a gallery photograph doesn’t say.
Furniture disappoints in a handful of predictable ways - and every one of them is a shortcut we refuse to take.
Eight checks between the bench and your room
Timber moisture-metered before a single cut
Joints clamped and left to fully cure
Leveled on a flat surface, rocked by hand
Dimensions measured against the spec
Every drawer and hinge cycled by hand
Finish checked in daylight-balanced light
Seams checked for pull, pucker, alignment
Re-inspected at our US hub before delivery
And if we still get it wrong
Every frame and joint is covered by our 2-year limited warranty, you have 100 nights to change your mind, and your piece is assembled in your room by our own delivery team - because the quickest way to make a well-built chair wobble is to bolt it together in the wrong order.
Not sure it’s right for your room? Book a complimentary design consultation - a specialist will talk through materials, finishes and fit before you commit.
