Custom Mappa Burl & Emerald Resin River Dining Table

The Story Behind This Piece

A one-of-a-kind piece, designed and custom-made by us, and the centrepiece of our home for the past four years. We hand-selected the raw Mappa burl wood ourselves and had the table built around a river of deep emerald resin. Burl wood is prized for its rare, swirling figure, and the transparent resin comes alive in sunlight, glowing through the pattern. No one else owns this table, because no one else could: the burl pattern and the flow of the resin are unique to this timber. We commissioned it to last a lifetime, which makes parting with it hard. We're leaving the UAE and would love it to go to someone who appreciates craftsmanship and natural materials. It has been meticulously cared for and lightly used. It's in pristine condition and has never needed refinishing. It's durable and easy to maintain; an occasional polish every couple of years keeps it looking new for decades. The warm burl tones and deep emerald sit easily with almost any interior, from minimal to warm and eclectic, while giving the room a bold focal point.
