Some are rustic, some are minimalistic, all are unique and serve to foster sharing, conversations and memories made. A keeper of secrets, the table is ever present throughout it all: lively discussions, promises made, morning coffees, late-night drinks, homework, games, chatter and the simple pleasure of calm, relaxed mealtimes. And in today’s busy world, unplugging from the noise and returning to this humble hub of the home is more needed than ever.
In Mallorca, one special furniture outfitter dedicates time, energy and passion to upholding the tradition of the big family table. As well as a showroom in Palma, hidden in a Consell workshop, The Big Table Studio makes beautiful statement tables out of sustainably sourced wood.
A stroll around reveals a great five-metre piece of oak here; a slab of salvaged teak weathering in the sun there. Each table is a complete one-off, and all are handcrafted on site before venturing off to take pride of place on terraces and in dining spaces across the island, and beyond. Intended to partner with their new owner for life, they’re designed to stand the test of time.
Back in 2019, Swiss-born Kuenzle explained the reasoning behind his ‘Made in Mallorca’ furniture collection: “For us, it’s important to give something back.” With The Big Table Studio, he and his team continue in the same vein, ensuring that for every table sold, another is planted in Germany to promote reforestation through the Plant-My-Tree initiative. The trees that are planted are protected for 99 years from logging, while the wood used is only sourced from certified forests.
Craftsmanship that stands the test of time
Through their wooden slab tables, the studio offers a tangible space for people to come together, slow down, and savour the moments that truly matter. The tables, often extending over five meters in length, are custom-made to order, ensuring that every piece is as unique as the people who enjoy them.
The founder’s personal touch is evident in every aspect of the business. He personally visits clients’ homes to provide tailored advice on the ideal size, style, and type of wood for their tables. This bespoke service ensures that each table perfectly complements its new home, becoming a seamless part of each family’s life. Through a blend of tradition, personalisation, and a commitment to sustainability, the Big Table Studio continues to craft tables that are as enduring as the stories shared around them.
