Handmade in Britain Unveils Extraordinary Table Collection

A platform championing British designers and makers has unveiled a collection of tables that are anything but ordinary: a curated collection of tables that transcend mere functionality, elevating the ordinary into works of art.

Handmade in Britain, a company dedicated to showcasing the finest artisanal creations from across the United Kingdom, has unveiled a selection of tables that not only serve their essential purpose but also captivate with their aesthetic appeal.

The collection comprises five distinct pieces, each a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisans behind them. From the striking Bean Table in Tangerine by Curvetop Tables to the unique Ribbon Low Table by Remi Dubois Design, the understated 350 London Plane Coffee Table by Beuzeval Furniture, and the sleek Side Table from Mark Newson, these creations challenge the notion that functional objects must sacrifice beauty.

Piyush Suri, the founder of Handmade in Britain, expressed his passion for elevating the everyday. “Tables are one of the most functional pieces of furniture, and there is no denying they serve a very practical purpose,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean they can’t look great.”

Mr. Suri emphasized the importance of infusing aesthetic appeal into even the most utilitarian objects. “Whether you want to connect with your family around a coffee table, stow your keys on a side table, or display your favourite interior pieces on a console table, they should all bring a slice of aesthetic appeal too,” he added.

The collection showcases the diverse talents of British artisans, each piece a unique expression of their craft. The 350 London Plane Coffee Table by Beuzeval Furniture, for instance, exudes elegance with its curved lines and refined, modern design. Priced at £300, it combines great looks with functionality, making it a stunning all-rounder that suits a range of purposes.

For those seeking a more sculptural piece, the Ribbon Low Table by Remi Dubois Designs, priced at £4,400, evokes a sense of mystery and fluidity. Crafted from hundreds of layers of ash veneer, each table is carved, shaped, and stained to achieve a unique formation, resembling two waves of a ribbon uncurling.

The Side Table by Mark Newson, priced at £1,200, oozes understated luxury with its sleek and simple design. Crafted from a variety of timbers, this piece commands attention and invites viewers to make a style statement.

For those seeking a burst of colour and positivity, the Bean Table in Tangerine by Curvetop Tables, priced at £189, offers a vibrant solution. Ideal for use as either a side or coffee table, this diminutive yet striking piece measures 73x45cm and packs a punch in stature.

Rounding out the collection is the Nest of Tables in Oak by Pintail Studios, priced at £495. A unique take on traditional nesting tables, this solid wood set of three tables is a perfect addition to any home. The tables can be opened, revealing a round table in the middle and two half tables ideal for use against a sofa or wall, while also serving as sturdy stools.

As consumers increasingly seek out unique and meaningful pieces for their homes, Handmade in Britain’s collection of tables offers a compelling alternative to mass-produced furniture. These exquisite creations not only serve their intended purposes but also elevate the every day, transforming functional objects into works of art that inspire and delight.
