Indonesian Natural Wood Table

Two slab legs, one slab top, and not a single wasted gesture.

This natural wood table comes from Borneo, Indonesia, and dates to the 20th century. It is stone and wood. Borneo's forests have long supplied some of the world's densest hardwoods, prized for large single planks that need little more than shaping and finishing. The thick rectangular top has squared edges and a deep black finish with a faint grain showing through. It sits on two broad panel supports set in from the ends. The overall line is low and severe. It is 98.5 inches long, 42 deep and 31.5 high.

Minimalism, long before it needed a name.
