Banquet-Style 38-foot Single Plank Oak Dining Table

About the Item

The ‘Tree’ table is an astonishing 38 feet (11.5m) long and made from a single plank of European oak ‘balanced’ on a mirror polished stainless steel pyramid. Made by renowned English furniture maker, Benchmark, the design is derived from the structure of a living tree, with the roots (the pyramid) anchoring it to the ground and the branches, under compression, supporting the load of the huge canopy. The result is a table that appears impossibly balanced, but can support the weight of four adults standing on one end. The table’s immense top comes from a huge oak tree that was planted around 1870 in the Landes, South West France. It is one of the longest planked oak logs on record from the region, and it took the furniture maker over six months to locate. The plank comes from the very centre of the tree with the ‘bull’s-eye’ of the annual rings running through its centre. It is unlikely that a plank of this length, width and uniformity will be found again.
