Client Requirements

Our client approached us with a vision for The Chicago table to serve as the centerpiece of a corporate boardroom that inspires collaboration and commands attention. They wanted a table that not only serves its functional purpose but also elevates the room’s ambiance with sophistication and uniqueness.

Their key requirements were:

- Shape: A large, rectangular table that fosters a sense of connection and gravitas.

- Seating Capacity: Spacious enough to accommodate up to 12 people comfortably for high-stakes discussions and collaborative work.

- Material: High-quality White Mahogany with a live-edge finish to capture the natural beauty and warmth of wood while maintaining a polished, professional look.

- Unique Design and Name: They entrusted Nobletimber with the creative freedom to design, name, and craft a table that would stand as a statement piece and a symbol of strength and elegant.

The Design and Crafting Process

Creating The Chicago was an intricate process, involving meticulous planning, skilled craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the materials. Here’s a step-by-step look at how this masterpiece came to life:

Step 1: Concept and Brainstorming

Our team worked closely with the client to capture the essence of Chicago's architecture and urban style. After several brainstorming sessions, we decided on a bold, rectangular design with clean lines and a live-edge finish. This design would allow the natural elegance of the wood to shine, while the table's scale and structure would reflect the strength and sophistication of Chicago.

Step 2: Material Selection – White Mahogany

For The Chicago, we selected White Mahogany due to its durability, fine grain, and luxurious appeal. Known for its light yet rich tones, White Mahogany adds warmth to a room while maintaining an air of professionalism. Each piece of wood was chosen for its unique grain patterns and resilience, ensuring that The Chicago would not only look stunning but also withstand the test of time in a high-traffic corporate setting.

Step 3: Crafting the Live-Edge Tabletop

The live-edge tabletop was carefully crafted to preserve the natural contours and textures of White Mahogany. Our artisans meticulously sanded and polished the wood to highlight its grain and bring out its inherent beauty. The live edge emphasizes the raw elegance of the wood, creating a seamless blend of nature and sophistication that is both inviting and commanding.

Step 4: Constructing the Architectural Base

The base of The Boho General table was designed to reflect the strength and stability of Chicago’s architectural landscape. Inspired by the city’s industrial heritage, the base has a bold, structured form that balances the organic lines of the live-edge top. Crafted from solid wood, the base provides unwavering support, symbolizing the durability and resilience that Chicago is known for.

Step 5: Assembly and Detailing

After preparing each element to perfection, our team assembled The Chicago with great attention to detail. Every joint, finish, and angle was carefully checked to ensure a flawless final product. The result is a harmonious blend of boldness and beauty, where the table’s structure and live-edge top come together to create a piece that is both functional and artful.

Applications of The Chicago Table

The General dining table’s bold design and elegance make it ideal for a variety of upscale settings:
