At Studio Tablas, we make no compromises; we work exclusively with solid oak. The LUMA Side Table is the result of applying traditional cabinetmaking combined with state-of-the-art technologies. In this technical guide, we detail the engineering, the material’s properties, and the care required to keep this compact and durable piece in pristine condition.
Structural Stability in a Compact Design
Despite its compact size and light appearance, this table is made entirely of solid oak. Its durability is due to its weight distribution and the quality of its hardware.
- Dimensions and Support: Its vertical proportions and solid base ensure excellent structural stability. Assembled with custom laser-cut iron supports, it is designed to remain wobble-free, providing safety for everyday use.
- Quick and sturdy assembly: The table is shipped with the base disassembled to ensure safe transport. The assembly process is very simple and takes less than 10 minutes, using heavy-duty metal hardware, which ensures a sturdy structure over the long term.
The Natural Behavior of Wood
The craftsmanship of our work begins with the selection of raw materials. All of our wood is FSC-certified, ensuring respect for the natural cycles of the forests. In our workshop, each board undergoes a rigorous selection process where we deliberately preserve the natural grain and knots. These characteristics are not defects, but rather the tree’s biological signature, ensuring that each table reacts naturally to ambient temperature without compromising its integrity.
Care and Protection of the Finish
The durability of a solid oak side table depends not only on its construction, but also on the technology used in its finish.
- Waterproof protection: We apply a high-hardness varnish that creates a waterproof layer capable of preventing liquid absorption and the appearance of stains. This advanced treatment enhances the beauty of the oak grain without the need for periodic application of nourishing oils.
- Daily cleaning: Maintenance is minimal. Simply wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry afterward to preserve the flawless finish.
- Corrective maintenance: If, at any time, the wood sustains a minor dent or surface mark due to regular use, we offer specialized wood repair waxes designed to easily conceal imperfections without affecting the original finish.
