Crafted from solid oak and designed around a slate top supplied by our client, this bespoke coffee table brings together traditional craftsmanship and personal history in a truly meaningful way. The original slate top held sentimental value and rather than allowing it to remain unused, we carefully designed and handmade a new oak base to give it a fresh purpose within the home.

Every detail of the table was considered to complement the character and texture of the reclaimed slate, while ensuring the finished piece felt timeless, practical, and built to last. The warmth of the natural oak contrasts beautifully with the slate surface, creating a balanced design that feels both contemporary and full of heritage.

Projects like this are especially rewarding for us, as they allow treasured materials and memories to become part of everyday life once again. By combining bespoke joinery with a client’s own meaningful materials, we are able to create furniture that is entirely unique, not only in appearance, but in the story it carries.

This custom coffee table now serves as a practical centrepiece for the home, preserving the significance of the original slate while giving it a new life for future generations to enjoy.
