Project One

Project Name: One

Client: Private: Residential Dining Room in Australia

Executed by: Nobletimber

Why the Name "One"?

The name "One" was chosen to emphasize the table’s singular, unified nature. Made from a single slab of wood or meticulously joined pieces that flow seamlessly, "One" reflects the concept of oneness and simplicity. This piece embodies unity, harmony, and minimalism, symbolizing how a single, carefully crafted element can become the heart of a space. The name "One" also signifies individuality, making it a distinctive centerpiece that stands alone in its elegance and purpose.

Client Requirements

The client envisioned a dining table that would serve as a gathering place for family and friends, encouraging connection and conversation:

• Function: A grand dining table that accommodates 6-8 people comfortably for meals and gatherings.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Desired a sleek, elegant look that would make the table a focal point in their dining area.
• Natural Beauty: Preferred a wood selection that highlights unique grain patterns and a warm tone to create an inviting atmosphere.
• Uninterrupted Design: Wanted a continuous, unbroken surface that emphasizes the beauty of the wood’s natural form, aligning with the theme of unity.

The Design and Crafting Process

Creating "One" was an exercise in simplicity and refinement, allowing the natural elegance of the wood to take center stage without any distractions.

Initial Concept and Brainstorming

Our team discussed the client’s desire for a minimalist yet impactful design. We aimed to craft a table that would be a visual and functional centerpiece in the dining room, embracing the warmth and organic beauty of natural wood. "One" was conceptualized as a symbol of unity and timeless design.

Material Selection

We selected Mango Wood for this project, known for its unique grain and beautiful color variations. Mango wood was chosen for its warm, inviting tones, which added depth and character to the table. Each piece of wood was carefully chosen to ensure that the final table would have an unbroken, harmonious look.

Crafting and Detailing

Our artisans meticulously crafted "One" to retain the natural edge and organic shape of the wood, preserving the raw elegance that gives the table its distinctive look. The focus was on highlighting the wood’s grain, allowing each line and swirl to become part of the overall aesthetic. We finished the table with a light protective coating, enhancing its natural tones while maintaining a matte finish that contributes to the piece’s simplicity.

Client Collaboration and Feedback

Throughout the crafting process, the client was kept in the loop with regular updates and photos, helping them visualize the transformation of the raw wood into the final masterpiece. They were delighted with each stage, seeing how the simplicity of the design allowed the wood’s natural beauty to shine through.

Final Assembly and Quality Check

The table was carefully inspected to ensure it met our standards and the client’s vision. The end result was a minimalist yet captivating dining table that brought a sense of calm and unity to the room, perfectly aligning with the concept of "One."
