Tree trunk dining tables

Table du Sud tables are custom-made just for you. This also applies to our live edge oak tables. This type of table is crafted out of solid French oak. Instead of sleek edges, our live edge oak tables are furnished with sloping ones. This results in a rougher and more robust appearance. Still prefer a sleek edge? Then take a look at our rectangular oak tables!

The stories of our products begin with high quality materials and continue at your home. As you compose your own products, you are essential to the result: a piece of furniture that reflects your personality. On top of that, our live edge tables are fully customisable as well. You determine the size, the colour of the oak tabletop, the type of wood—we differentiate between "lived" and "new" oak—and finally the colour of the frame.

Different colours

Our live edge oak tables are available in thirteen different colours. Besides the enrichment of your interior design, the chosen colour treatment also provides a solid protection against stains and spots. Looking for a natural appearance? Then opt for an ultra-matte coating. This type of coating is transparent and shows the wood’s natural colour. In addition, you may opt for a lighter coating, such as Silk White and Milk White. Both create a ‘whitewashed’ effect. You can also pick darker hues, such as Black Smoke Light and Black Smoke Intense. These colours provide the wood with a darker look but also allow its natural tone to shine through. We also offer the colours Mud and Hazelnut, which both slightly change the table’s accent. Looking for a colour that fully covers your tabletop? That’s also possible. Either pick Deep White (9010) or Deep Black (9005). Despite the full coverage of these colours the wood grains remain perfectly visible. This is because we brush the tabletop before we apply the coating.

The table’s colour is applied in our new spray cabin. This cabin ensures a level appliance of the chosen colour and thereby also your long-term satisfaction. Why? Because these items are maintenance-free! Feel like giving your table a refresher or a solid cleanse in due time? Of course, that’s possible. Take a look at our maintenance products.

A wide range of frames

As with our other dining tables, we offer a variety of frames to go along with our live edge tabletops. An example is the Felix leg, executed in black metal. Or opt for the more rugged XX-leg. It is imperative to consider your choice of table frame. How many people usually share the table with you? Do unexpected guests frequently attend? Which shape fits the room best? It goes without saying that we will happily advise you.

At Table du Sud you can choose between two different types of frames: a central frame or a frame at the short side. Both options are viable with our live edge oak tables. The main advantage of a central frame is the ability to freely sit wherever you want as well as being able to make optimal use of the table’s length. The main advantage of a frame at the short side is that you do not suffer from awkward table legs in front of your feet.

Are you having trouble deciding the length of your table? That’s okay, it’s not always easy! Try to take into consideration how many chairs you want to use. Usually, we count 60cm of space for a dining chair with an armrest. So, if you are planning to seat six people, these chairs occupy a total of 180cm of space. Besides, you have to bear in mind a space interval of at least 10-15cm. With a central frame, the table length should thus be at least 200cm. Of course, if you get a longer table, you’ll enjoy more sitting space. However, if you pick a frame at the short side, you’ll also have to take the tube’s thickness as well as the space between the tube and the edge of the table into consideration. The position of the frame is mostly yours to decide. As you will probably understand, a table with a frame at the short side will usually be longer than a (oak) table with a central frame.

As with the live edge oak tabletops, our frames are custom-made in our workshop. You decide the height of your table, to which the frame will be adjusted accordingly. Sometimes it is also possible to decide the thickness of the frame’s tubes. Besides metal frames Table du Sud also supplies tables with oak frames. 

Managed to pick a type of frame? Then you’re also able to decide its colour. Our frames are not only available in a metallic look, but also in a black or white powder coating. If you opt for a metallic look, the frame will have a mottled dark-grey colour that leaves the welds clearly visible. This provides the table with a robust appearance. The legs may seem unprocessed, but they are treated with a clear coating to prevent oxidation. If you opt for either white or black legs the colour will be matte. This endows the frame with a sleeker and more modern look.

Artisanal and authentic

No to mass production or the use of upholstered materials, yes to handcrafted and unique dining tables. The tabletops are all mechanically processed and smoothed. The same applies to the edge, which we ensure to be 100% splinter-free. This way you can dine carefree, even with little kids.

As we said before, you contribute to the final result to truly transform your table into something personal: Table du Rachel, Table du Richard. Your own table.

All this from the picturesque Heeze, situated in the Brabant countryside. With our own machines and by our own hands. Due to the absence of intermediaries, we are able to invest in a quality that you receive for an accessible price. On top of that, we deliver the final product ourselves! No fiddling around with building kits, no far-away producing countries and no brokering activities. People like to call this ‘sustainable’ and ‘local’. We just call it logical.
