Booststory Teak Coffee Table — Oval with Slatted Lower Shelf

The Booststory Teak Coffee Table uses reclaimed plantation teak as its primary material — timber recovered from demolition projects, retired ship decking, and old-growth building stock that is given new structural purpose rather than being sent to waste. Reclaimed teak carries a patina and color variation that new plantation teak cannot replicate: the surface shows the natural silvering of weathered wood alongside the warm golden-brown of freshly exposed timber, creating a color palette of extraordinary depth and warmth that only improves as the piece ages in a domestic interior environment. The oval top measures 130cm in length and 70cm in width, sized to serve a standard three to four seat sofa grouping with sufficient surface area for books, beverages, candles, and display objects without overwhelming the seating arrangement. The slatted lower shelf — constructed from matching reclaimed teak at 20mm slat thickness with 15mm gaps between slats — provides practical storage for books, magazines, remote controls, and decorative baskets while maintaining the visual lightness that allows the eye to pass through the table rather than being blocked by a solid lower panel. The four tapered legs are turned from solid teak rounds on Booststory’s workshop lathe, tapering from 55mm at the top to 35mm at the foot, with a subtle mid-point swell that references Scandinavian furniture design of the 1960s. The surface is treated with teak-specific oil that replenishes the wood’s natural oils, prevents cracking, and allows easy re-treatment without stripping or sanding. Dimensions: 130cm L × 70cm W × 42cm H.
