Salisbury Ribbed Occasional Table | Black Oak

Blackened oak, a fluted pedestal base, a smooth round top — the Salisbury is the occasional table that makes a room feel designed rather than simply furnished.

The Salisbury is a table that earns its label as a statement piece. The fluted pedestal base — each vertical channel running the full height of the column — is one of the most architecturally refined details in contemporary furniture design, and in blackened oak it reads as simultaneously bold and deeply considered. The smooth round top sits above it with classical proportion, and the 75cm diameter gives the table genuine presence on a living room floor or beside a sofa without dominating the space. At 23kg it has a satisfying solidity; this is an occasional table that sits with authority rather than apologising for its scale.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The blackened oak finish is the combination that makes the Salisbury so versatile across interior styles. Blackening deepens and enriches the oak's natural grain rather than concealing it — the dark finish pools in the recesses of the wood's surface texture while the grain lines remain visible, creating a depth of colour that flat black paint or lacquer cannot achieve. Each flute on the pedestal column catches that grain and that depth differently, meaning the base has a visual complexity that changes as you move around the table. Individually made with finishes that vary slightly between pieces, the Salisbury has the character of genuine craft rather than production-line uniformity.
