Indonesian Wood Square Table

Old teak, new shape, and no interest in making small talk.

This square table comes from Indonesia and is contemporary, made of reclaimed teak wood. Teak resists rot and insects, so it has long been used for Indonesian houses and boats, and timber salvaged from old structures gets a second life in furniture like this. The top is a plain dark plane with square edges. Swirling grain shows through the black finish along the deep apron, and four square legs taper toward the floor. It measures 39.25 inches on each side and 30 high.

Four friends, one bottle, no tablecloth.
