ESSENCE COFFEE TABLES
The Essence Collection's designer was Mother Nature herself. Each coffee table is her genuine fingerprint, always different and always unique. Our main focus is trying to preserve the wood we work with in its purest form. The story line of each tree's life that's written in its essence remains unaltered this way. Most trees grow long but seldom grow wide. The larger the diameter, the older the tree so it has more stories to tell and scars to show.
Essence Dining Tables
Vertical "long cuts" of the wood reveal a true lifeline of the tree. There is a hidden story behind each node, scar or imperfection of the wood. We frequently have to work with wood that has cracks, nodes or even metallic fragments inside. It is a challenge and a delight working with such a surprising material.
The dining table is the heart of every home when family gathers around it. It is important for the dining room atmosphere to be warm and cozy, and there isn't another material that's warmer than wood.
our mission
In our workshop located in the heart of Transylvania we are turning salvaged wood into exquisite custom furniture pieces.
We are URBAN WOODS and our workshop is located in Alba County, Romania. We produce dining and coffee tables made exclusively out of salvaged wood.
We decided to salvage old trees that come bundled with many defects which would normally be rejected by other manufacturers of solid wood furniture. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the wood we chose to emphasize these defects and even amplify them in our products. Therefore nodes or simple imperfections of the wood filled with transparent epoxy resin are an ubiquitous element in the products we create.
The production process is long and complex. Once the trees are salvaged and brought into the workshop, the wood is cut and let to dry for up to three years before being processed and turned into dining or coffee tables.
We handle each process from standing trees to the finished product being delivered to your home.
