Furniture that tells a story - furniture made of burl wood

 

 

A touch of exoticism and a look that would otherwise remain hidden - burl wood furniture, such as a burl wood table with a glass top, is a unique symbol of the secrets of nature. The exclusive exhibits are made from the rootstock of the teak tree. With their special grain, the roots represent stylish living with a distinctive character. An entire root of the teak trunk is used to create a piece of furniture that impresses with its unique, impossible-to-copy design. A burl wood table with a glass top provides a view of the growth of a tree over a period of up to 300 years. An impressive experience that brings the viewer closer to the primal power of nature. When this root developed its first shoots and slowly grew into a stately tree, there were no motor vehicles, cell phones or other advances in modern technology. The processing of the roots of the high-quality teak wood is a homage to nature and an appreciation of what is initially considered a “waste product” when trees are cut down. The valuable teak wood is used as a raw material for furniture, floorboards and much more. The upgrading of the roots into exclusive individual pieces of home design is evidence of sustainability. Worked with attention to detail, pieces of furniture are created that are characterized by the beautiful texture of teak wood. 

How enchanting furniture is created from the part of the trunk that normally remains underground

A wide variety of things can arise from a piece of root. Using high-quality handcraft, a root with many small branches becomes an expressive object with artistic demands. Little by little, roots are transformed into unique pieces with strong expressiveness. In combination with a tempered glass top, the once earthy root shines as an exclusive table, which stylizes itself with small depressions, joints and notches into a unique, distinctive object of modern living. Sometimes as a burl wood table with a glass top, sometimes in a wooden frame as a room divider - one thing is common to all of the pieces - they are, with absolute certainty, unique pieces that cannot be reproduced. Each root tells its own story. Thanks to the craftsmanship of the designers, it is possible to create a stylish root wood table from a rustic root, for example. With technical finesse and the use of elastic buffers, it is possible to securely fix the glass plate to the root wood table. With root wood tables from a professional, you are on the safe side when it comes to quality and longevity. Burl wood tables with a glass top should have a glass top made of strong safety glass with rounded or beveled edges. A thickness of at least 8 mm guarantees robustness.The associated weight also ensures more stability when the glass plate rests firmly on the supporting rootstock underneath. 

Sustainable root wood tables with certificate

If you have decided to give one of the magical burl wood tables with a glass top a place in your home, you should pay attention to sustainability. In order not to encourage illegal overexploitation of nature, all wood and roots should verifiably come from forestry plantations. The FLEGT certificate guarantees that the furniture awarded with it meets the requirements of ecologically important principles. Only if furniture without this certificate can no longer find buyers can illegal logging be effectively curbed. Many burl wood tables and other burl wood furniture still come from the forests of the mysterious country of Myanmar. Myanmar is very closed to the Western world, so hardly any information about how the monsoon forests there are used is leaked to the outside world. However, it is highly doubtful whether the guidelines for sustainable forestry are being adhered to here. Illegal deforestation endangers our planet. The overexploitation of nature and the disregard for human rights quickly make the joy of a beautiful burl wood table disappear if you feel committed to the future. Only buying burl wood tables and burl wood furniture if they are made from wood from sustainable and controlled mining not only serves to calm your own conscience. It is an important contribution to the social and ecological balance of our planet. 

Recycled teak that finds a new life as a burl table

The reclaimed teak wood is used to create wonderful exhibits that become the expressive centerpiece of the living area. No two roots are alike. Every burl wood table and every accessory is unique and breathtakingly beautiful. In times when sustainability is becoming more and more important and the trends in new developments shown at international furniture trade fairs are increasingly being made from wood, furniture made from root wood is an elegant and timeless style that meets all ecological principles. “Back to the roots” can literally be taken by its name when it comes to a root wood table. The return to furniture and accessories made from wood that comes from sustainable forestry is an unmistakable sign of the increasing responsibility of furniture manufacturers. When purchasing your root wood furniture, be sure to look for appropriate certification such as the FLEGT certificate. If your new root wood table bears the “V-Legal-Wood” seal, you can be sure that it is FLEGT certified. The wood used in the furniture awarded this seal comes exclusively from controlled cultivation in managed secondary forests.The FLEGT certificate is only awarded to dealers who verifiably manufacture their furniture according to the specifications of the state forestry authority.
