Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The Veizla Table is made from solid wood, assembled with a unique steel bracket. The under-carriage is constructed by assembling three parts (legs and stretcher) in the core points, with a bracket top and bottom. The bracket makes it possible to flat-pack the table for transport and distribution. The table is made from edge-glued panels, which makes it environmentally sustainable and possible to produce in any type of hardwood available to suit all interiors.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 1000mm x Length 2000mm x Height 730mm. Extension leaves are also available, making table length 2800mm.

- Production Technology
- Prototype was made by getting wooden parts cut on CNC machine, bonding and sanding them. The bracket which combines all parts were made by a steel engineering company, milling and drilling stainless steel discs to specification. CNC turned out to be problematic, so now parts are made by a furniture manufacturing company.
- Design Challenge
- Being Danish, grew up with furniture design. Being a kitchen designer, given me insight to furniture. Being an engineer solved the technical. I wanted to create a practical yet elegant table. Practical in terms of comfort and use, avoiding corner table legs. Elegant, with beautiful aesthetics. The hardest challenge was the assembly. I could find no appropriate fittings - so I designed my own fitting. Naming the table took research. I found an Old-Norse word for a feast/banquet, which is appropriate and unique.
- Research
- The Veizla table, both rectangular and round versions, and the Veizla fitting/bracket are design registered in 2013.
- Inspiration
- Inspiration came from visiting the Milan Furniture Fair, and also being a kitchen designer for 20 years. Often, when designing a bespoke open-plan kitchen for a client, using different types of wood, the client would ask where to source a table to go with the new kitchen. Not easy if you are looking for something different from the usual oak or ash. After visiting the Milan Fair, I reflected on the trends and what I had seen. One day I sat down at my drawing board. This table is the result.
- Project Duration
- The design was conceived in June 2012 in Dublin, Ireland. The first Veizla fittings were made in September 2012. The first Veizla table was made in October 2012.
- Operation Flow
- The table was designed with open-plan living in mind, a predominantly informal lifestyle, and making it available in an array of different woods to fit in with all interior material and colour schemes. Equally, the table has potential to become a product for corporate use.
