Meridian Collection

Meridian Shores is a statement live-edge rainwood dining table, hand-selected from a single South American slab for its broad grain sweep and open, composed surface rhythm. The grain travels laterally across the tabletop, creating a sense of spatial calm and continuity while ensuring the piece remains entirely one of a kind.

One edge of the slab is naturally open and precisely stabilised with black translucent epoxy resin, introduced only where the material requires structural support. Rather than masking the edge, the resin defines it — forming a dark, glass-like boundary that traces the slab’s natural contour and contrasts quietly with the warmth of the rainwood.

The remaining live edge is preserved with minimal intervention, allowing shoreline-like contours to remain visible and unforced. Light brushing refines the surface without flattening its character, enhancing tonal transitions beneath a matte wood wax oil finish.

Beneath the surface, naturally occurring cavities are selectively reinforced with resin from the underside, maintaining strength while allowing the tabletop to remain visually open and uninterrupted. The result is a composition that feels expansive rather than dense — defined by flow, continuity, and restraint.

Designed as a modular composition, Meridian Shores can be paired with a range of sculptural table bases. Each base subtly shifts stance while preserving balance, proportion, and material clarity.

Handcrafted by Woodslabs, this live-edge rainwood dining table is suited to contemporary dining spaces and architectural interiors where openness, material honesty, and quiet craftsmanship are valued.

Creation Story of Meridian Shores Table

Meridian Shores was developed by studying how material behaves along its outer boundary rather than at its centre. The process began with a slab whose edges carried as much narrative as its surface, guiding decisions around proportion, orientation, and reinforcement.

Rather than imposing symmetry or concealment, design decisions focused on definition. Resin was introduced selectively along the open edge and beneath natural cavities, not as decoration, but as a structural response that allowed the slab’s natural form to remain legible and uncompromised.

Surface treatment was kept light to preserve movement and tonal variation, while the finish was chosen to protect the wood without muting its character. The table resolves as a balanced interplay between openness and containment — where edge, surface, and underside work together to define the whole.

Sustainability and Wood Origin

We source our timber from trusted sawmills around the world, working only with partners who share our commitment to sustainability and responsible woodland management. The trees we use are never cut down purely for production — our wood comes from trees that have reached the natural end of their life cycle or have been carefully recovered from managed forests.

Each slab is firstly air dried for a minimum of 2-5 years and then kiln dried to 8-12% moisture content, which ensures its strength and stability. Every piece we craft celebrates the beauty of wood while caring for the forests it came from.

Care and Maintenance

Your table is protected with a premium wax oil finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty while allowing it to breathe. With simple care, it will age beautifully for years to come.

Daily Care

•⁠ ⁠Wipe with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
•⁠ ⁠Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners — use only gentle, wood-safe products.
•⁠ ⁠Clean spills promptly to prevent staining or moisture marks.
•⁠ ⁠Protect from direct heat and prolonged sunlight exposure.
•⁠ ⁠Always use coasters, placemats, and felt pads under accessories.

Included Care Kit
Each table comes with:

•⁠ ⁠A small tin of matching wax oil
•⁠ ⁠A soft cloth
•⁠ ⁠A pair of protective gloves

Long-Term Maintenance

•⁠ ⁠Reapply a thin coat of wax oil once or twice a year, or whenever the surface looks dry.
•⁠ ⁠Apply along the grain using the provided cloth and gloves.
•⁠ ⁠Allow the oil to absorb, then gently buff to a soft, natural sheen.
•⁠ ⁠Regular care will nourish the wood, preserve its finish, and maintain its timeless character.
