About Augusta Jedálenský Stôl
Augusta interpretuje klasický jedálenský stôl. Zastúpenie generácií pred nami sa zdá, že dizajn vyrastie z neviditeľného koreňa. Nohy stola sú orientované k tomuto spoločnému jadru a siahajú až k držaniu stolovej dosky prispôsobenej knihe. Masívne európske orechové drevo bolo vybrané pre jeho význam múdrosti a rastu. Drevo obvykle vyhodené výrobcami nábytku sa používa na riešenie jeho problémov. Uzly, trhliny, chvenie vetra a jedinečné víry rozprávajú príbeh života stromu. Jedinečnosť dreva umožňuje tomuto príbehu žiť v kúsku rodinného dedičstva.

- The Augusta dining table is a new interpretation of one of the classic dining table designs. Its traditional purpose of bringing family and loved ones together remains clearly visible whilst this table reinvents the concept of a 4-legged table. The table legs emerge from the ground as if they are growing from the same invisible root to hold up the book-matched tabletop in European walnut hardwood.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 2.0m (W) x 0.9m (D) x 0.75m (H)
Made from European walnut hardwood.

- Production Technology
- The starting point of the design process was the image of a solid core or root from which new life was growing upwards. The initial drawings were very figurative around this motif. The main design step was to minimalize the concept to the point where the upwards theme remains visible whilst creating a clear and suggestive table design.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge of this piece was on how to reinvent the design of the traditional 4-legged rectangular dining table and have it carry the sense of an invisible core that enables growth.
- Research
- The research for this table comprised of selecting a type of wood that emphasises the meaning and inspiration behind this piece. The key aspect for the Augusta dining table is the family building a strong unit, rooted in the same core. European walnut represents this well. The Rice & Rice family comes from England and Germany, the wood was chosen from a tree popular in both regions without having a distinct association with either. The walnut tree also symbolizes wisdom and growth. Rice & Rice Fine Furniture believe that the wisdom of the generations before us allows us to grow strong to withstand storms and difficulties in life.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for the Augusta dining table was to celebrate a strong family bond. Through its name, the company Rice & Rice Fine Furniture honours this important bond and commitment. The business could not have been created if it wasn't for the support and inspiration of the family. The name Augusta carries a very significant meaning in the family.
- Project Duration
- Custom order: 3months lead time
Made in Germany. - Operation Flow
- The table is crafted by Master carpenters in Germany to ensure the high quality of the book-matched tabletop and the hand-sculpted legs. Book-matching high-quality woods has traditionally been reserved for high-quality antiques often in form of veneer. The Augusta dining table is made of solid European walnut to showcase the beauty of the tree's markings, such as in the book-matched solid wood tabletop. The legs have been hand-sculpted also from European walnut wood.
