Donut Coffee Table, Chocolate
Donut Coffee Table, Chocolate
Solid Acacia Wood, chocolate glaze, glass top
The Donut is a dense swirl of solid wood, rich with varying grain and gradient in a clear finish. Topped with a round glass top, the donut functions as a coffee, cocktail, or conversation table, or by itself as sculpture or seat.
The piece is made entirely from repurposed wood, using vast quantities of hardwood factory waste that are discarded to eliminate knots, cracks, and color variation. To create the donut, the pieces are carefully composed by hand in a grid pattern and carved into its donut form. The arrangement of the boards throws up a unique flux of grain patterns that make each Donut table distinct and delicious to look at.
The underlying inspiration for the piece stems from a childhood memory. At the end of each school year, we would gather our old notebooks, carefully tear out the threads binding them, and separate any remaining blank pages. Under the watchful eyes of our mothers, we would neatly separate and stack these ruled, unruled, and grid-lined math pages, binding them together to create one giant workbook for the summer. This slow, deliberate task ingrained the idea that nothing should go to waste. This philosophy forms the foundation for the Donut’s creation, taking discarded wood and transforming it into something beautifully soft and sweet.
Due to the nature of the donut and its construction, each piece is completely unique, with varying grain, board sizes, and wood color tones. Please refer to photos as a reference for patterns and color ranges only.

Learn more about the donut table
The donut table was born from the challenge of using vast quantities of factory waste end boards - cut offs from either ends of solid wood long boards that are discarded to eliminate cracks, checks or warping. To create the donut the boards are arranged in a carefully engineered pattern and then carved by a CNC into the donut form. The arrangement of the boards throws up a unique flux of grain patterns that make each donut table distinct, and delicious to look at.
