Step inside the boardroom, and you’re entering the heart of any business. This is a space where clients are entertained, hard-fought pitches won and crucial decisions are made.
Whether your décor is Scandinavian or Art Deco-inspired, one thing is for sure. The table is the cornerstone of every boardroom. The way it looks and even feels doesn’t just set the tone for the room itself, it speaks volumes about your brand. From the moment anyone opens that door, what they see leaves a lasting impact – and it pays to make it a good one.
Here at Forest & Maker, we take the business of boardroom tables very seriously. From our workshop in Wiltshire’s rolling hills, we handcraft bespoke boardroom tables for some of the UK’s most forward-thinking brands. This is wildly beautiful commercial furniture, created with passion and perfectionism.
Made from a range of timbers such as solid oak, sleek ash or a rich walnut, each solid timber boardroom table has a unique story to tell. This is anything but ‘fast furniture’. Their beauty sparks a conversation, ignites creativity and leaves a lasting impression behind. In fact, they are one of a kind.
Take, for example, the showstopper we handcrafted for Nando’s London HQ. We diligently sifted through a series of sawmills to find six unparalleled slabs of rippled walnut, sculpted from the same tree. The outcome? A stunning, honey-coloured centre piece, which stretches an impressive 4.6metres across the room. With its tactile live edge, deep lustre and wavy grain, it immediately strikes a chord.
Then there’s the stunning conference table we handcrafted for luxury travel agent, Jacada Travel. Hewn from one huge log, the 3metre table is meticulously crafted from honey-hued pippy oak. Scattered with beautiful knots and with an organic ‘live’ edge, this is Mother Nature at her most arresting. The timber was personally chosen by the client too, who visited our Wiltshire workshop and showroom to study and select the samples.
But our bespoke boardroom tables won’t just show off your design kudos. Whether yours is a multi-purpose meeting room or a space set to impress, they confirm that your commitment to sustainability starts with the C-suite. After all, why sit clients at a laminate or mass-market table, when they could be wowed by a stunning piece of solid timber? For our bespoke boardroom tables tell a story that’s deeply intertwined with solid sustainability credentials. We are Grown in Britain certified, and the vast majority of our timber is grown here in the UK from sustainable and often very local sources.
And when it comes to specification, there is no limitation on size or style. Whether you like the rustic beauty of a live edge, or you prefer a sleek, Scandinavian look, our bespoke process will breathe life into your vision. Legs can be anything from hand-turned timber to iron or even copper, plus we offer a huge array of finishes too. Whether you want a pale, natural look, a rich honey hue or a robust protective coating, the world is your oyster. After all, this is handcrafted commercial furniture, created for you.
