Inspired by the Sacred Ceiba trees in Havana, Joao Faria created the stunning Roots Console Table for contemporary homes. It is handcrafted using carefully selected wood veneers, metals, and materials. Many consider this piece a work of art, like a sculpture.
The Roots Collection also includes coffee tables, mirrors, desks, and screens. Each piece is handmade by order, so we can manufacture it in endless combinations.
This piece is entirely made in Portugal and artisanally by the author. Its manufacturing process is time-consuming because, among other complex operations, every wood insert is drawn, cut and fitted on the metal structure without the use of machinery. After the final wood shapes are ready, the tabletop is assembled and crafted using carefully selected wood veneers with natural patterns or a lacquered finish. The author himself chooses the wood veneer leaves and bookmatches them to achieve the best result in the piece. The final finish on the wood is a varnish to enhance the wood's natural beauty or to protect the lacquer.
The metal structure supporting the tabletop, which appears to be floating, is made from very thick and resistant steel, stainless steel, copper, or brass, depending on the final version of the console.
This listing is for a console master-crafted from black lacquered wood, a thick copper structure, and an "Industrial Chic" finish with transparent varnish to protect the metal from staining. The author hand-made the "Industrial Chic" finish, making every piece truly unique. Copper furniture is not just a trend; it will last a long time. It's perfect for creating a warm and inviting ambience in any space. Also, copper is 100% recyclable, eco-friendly, and highly durable. It's a showroom sample in perfect condition.
However, we can manufacture it in customised options:
Tabletop: It can be in different lacquer colours or wood veneers, such as ironwood, black oak, tineo, and ebony macassar. The wood finish can be matt, satin or high-gloss.
Structure: You can choose between stainless steel, copper, brass, or lacquered steel. Stainless steel, copper, and brass can be finished in three ways: polished, brushed, or in an "Industrial Chic" style. The lacquered steel can be any RAL colour.
The console houses two discrete drawers in wooden interiors in all its versions.
For extra security, the console must be nailed to the wall. We send all the hardware to attach it.

You can try it in your space using Augmented Reality with your mobile phone (Roots Collection, available on our website).
This piece is assembled and delivered in a wooden box packed in bubble wrap.
The Roots Console Table is entirely made in Portugal and manufactured artisanally. The author carefully executed or supervised every process step in a small workshop context.
