Solid Oak and Durability: Why the LUMA Coffee Table Redefines the Standard of Craftsmanship

Mounting wood on a wall is a structural challenge. At Studio Tablas, we do not use hollow or MDF-faced panels; we work exclusively with 100% solid oak. This means that our LUMA Floating Shelves have the weight, density, and elegance of real wood. In this technical guide, we explain how we designed their mounting system to ensure a safe and aesthetically pleasing installation.

Wood Engineering: Strong Yet Lightweight

Unlike mass-produced furniture, our manufacturing process combines traditional woodworking techniques with precision technology. The Luma coffee table has been designed to offer a visually light aesthetic while maintaining the structural strength that only 100% solid oak can provide.

  • Wood selection: Each board undergoes a thorough selection process in which we preserve the natural grain and knots. This ensures that the wood's internal stresses are properly managed to prevent warping.
  • High-strength joints: Although the piece stands out for its simplicity, its stability lies within. We use custom laser-cut iron hardware and fasteners that are extremely sturdy, allowing for quick assembly in less than 10 minutes without compromising the overall stability of the structure.

The secret to a long-lasting, oil-free finish

One of the biggest concerns when purchasing a designer piece is its maintenance. At Studio Tablas, we have optimized the finish using a high-hardness varnish.

This protection creates a waterproof layer that prevents liquids from being absorbed. Unlike other treatments, this finish enhances the depth of the grain and the natural texture of the oak without the need for periodic application of nourishing oils. When it comes to care, simplicity is key: a soft, slightly damp cloth is all that’s needed to preserve its original luster.

Certified sustainability

Our passion for oak goes hand in hand with respect for its origin. All the wood used in the Mediterranean-style coffee table is FSC-certified, guaranteeing that it comes from responsibly and sustainably managed forests.
