This spalted beech coffee table features striking black line patterns naturally formed by fungal growth in the wood which occurred, more by accident than design, when the trunk lay in a field at West Kyloe for two years following Storm Desmond. The organic, marble-like veining contrasts dramatically with the warm honey tones of beech, creating a unique statement piece. This table displays an unrepeatable pattern, showcasing nature's artistry within a functional, elegant design.

Material: Spalted Beech Dimensions (WxLxH): 550mm x 1250mm x 300mm
Spalted beech has been prized by artisans since the 18th century, when European craftsmen discovered that controlled fungal colonization created striking black line patterns through the wood. Initially considered defective, these uniquely patterned specimens gained appreciation during the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century. This table marries the organic and variable nature of the spalting with traditional robust construction. The legs are turned from the same beech and jointed to form the traditional apron. The Top is made from 60mm thick slab to give a table that will support the heaviest of red’s, and later in the evening can probably be used as a stage for dancing.
