CharlesTed Home Langdale Console Table

Whitewashed durian wood, a woven rattan inset top, a drawer with ornate dark ring pulls and an open lower shelf — the Langdale console where two natural materials meet with quiet confidence.

The Langdale's most distinctive detail is its top — a woven rattan inset panel set within the whitewashed durian wood frame, the darker honey tone of the natural cane contrasting with the pale whitewash below in a material pairing that has immediate warmth and character. The whitewashed durian wood frame provides the structural clarity of a clean-lined console, while the rattan top brings the organic texture that elevates the piece from a functional hallway table into something genuinely decorative. A single drawer with two ornate dark metal drop ring handles and a open lower shelf complete the practical provision.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The rattan inset top is the quality that distinguishes the Langdale from the broader whitewashed console category — the woven surface sits within the raised timber surround of the top, creating a contained, considered panel rather than a rattan surface that simply covers the top. The darker natural tone of the rattan against the whitewashed wood below creates a material contrast that adds visual depth to the top without introducing a different colour palette. The ornate dark metal drop ring handles on the drawer are a considered hardware choice — their slightly baroque profile sits naturally with the organic quality of the rattan rather than the more minimalist hardware that a plainer console might use.
