Although kitchens are our specialty at Christian Vigurs Custom Furniture, we also design and make bespoke furniture pieces for all areas of the home. It's always exciting to be commissioned a fit out for multiple rooms within a house, and recently we worked in a beautiful home using European Oak for each furniture piece, creating a continuous flow of wood that is lovely to move through and live with.
One piece of furniture commissioned was this fabulous table pictured below. The brief was very simple; it had to be large enough to seat sixteen people and made from oak. Given the size of the kitchen with its views, and the contemporary nature of the house, Christian decided upon a refectory style table with Tolix chairs.
For such a large piece of furniture, it definitely sits comfortably within it's surroundings, and alongside the other pieces of cabinetry work installed by Christian, they provide a complete and beautiful detailing throughout the home. I love the original monastic style of this table, it's so simple, yet there is definitely a touch of the later noble era too…. a perfect feasting table.
