Corner Bar medium black satin ash table

*Please note that as every table is handmade to order, delivery will be in 12-14 weeks*

This handmade medium sized black ash dining table can comfortably seat 6 people, and is exclusively available at Tate. As seen in Tate Modern’s Corner café, the table is crafted using traditional joinery methods from locally sourced wood. You can even trace your table’s origins - the GPS coordinates of the tree it was made from are stamped on each table.

Softly rounded square legs echo the curved edges of the rectangular tabletop. The table legs have the same radius as the tabletop, which makes for a smooth piece of furniture with no jarring edges. At just over 2 metres long, there’s plenty of room to seat six people, ideal for a family dining or kitchen table, with a width of 90 cm. The 76 cm height also makes it a comfortable workstation if you’re using a laptop or notebook.

The table is made by Goldfinger, an award-winning social enterprise that combines high-end design with sustainability and community. At their home in Trellick Tower, North Kensington, every item in the collection for Tate is made from repurposed wood, sustainably sourced from trees felled locally, within London or the surrounding areas. Over 5000 mature trees fall each year due to weather-related incidents, disease, or urban development, and Goldfinger use the wood from trees like these to create their hand-crafted furniture and homeware products. This sequesters carbon, and saves the trees from being chipped or burned for biofuel. The Corner cafe collection was collaboratively designed by Goldfinger, Tate, and Holland Harvey.

Goldfinger’s team of expert craftspeople use traditional tools and joinery techniques to create these solid wood tables, designed to last a lifetime. They also run a teaching academy, where they share their skills, promoting sustainable work practices to young people. Their profits fund their social impact projects, which provide employment and training, fight social isolation, and help to preserve the art of joinery for future generations.

The table is a solid piece of quality furniture, making it a large and heavy item that cannot be dismantled for delivery.

If you would like help ensuring this, an access check can be provided for an extra fee of £80, which will be deducted from the cost of your item should you decide to proceed with an order. An access inspector will attend your property and make sure that the measurements of your entrances, corridors, doorways and stairs are compatible with delivery and installation of your table, so you can order with confidence.
