The idea of the design of the Arbore dining table arises as an allegory to the element from which the whole project emanates, which is none other than the tree. For this reason, a solid trunk of Busaco Cedar wood, from which only the bark has been removed, is used as a support for the table.

The tabletop, made up of several planks placed successively glued together, rests on a U-shaped metal support, which gives support and firmness to the tabletop, but maintains the same idea. From a side view, it also generates the same image of a “tree”. The boards, like the tops of trees, form their identity in the form that their shapes, branches, etc. create. We wanted each of these boards to also have its own identity.

Its perimeter is slightly irregular following the natural shape of the board.

This is a 100% customizable product, both in the type of wood and in the measurements and type of base.

PORTUGAL CYPRESS / C U P R E S S S U S  L U S I T A N I C A

The name C. Lusitanica or Portuguese Cypress comes from a clone. It is unknown whether native to India or Mexico, cultivated in Portugal around 1634, in the monastery of Buçaco, near Coimbra; these trees were already about 130 years old when Miller botanically described the species in 1768.

It has a straight trunk of 1.5 to 2m in diameter, reddish-brown bark in young specimens and grayish-whitish in centennial specimens.

Cypress wood is quality wood, with beautiful shades and grain, semi-hard and durable.

Its color varies from pale yellow to brown heartwood, while its sapwood is lighter. Its grain is straight but with irregularities depending on the number of knots.

The bases can be based on materials such as :
