The Low Wood Table Is The New Little Black Dress, Everyone Should Have One

The LWT (short for Low Wood Table) was designed by Gregory Baker Architect to be used in pretty much any space, be it residential, corporate, or institutional. It was created by interlocking hardwood pieces, which form its ingenious visual pattern—half solid, half open. 

Aside from the removable metal fittings that hold the legs, the table is entirely made of wood, with both Oak and European Steamed Beech versions available. As such, all materials are fully recyclable, making this a piece ready to live as many lives as their owners desire.

While the design takes on a more traditional aesthetic due to the classic wood joinery, the table was produced using modern technology, including digital modeling, CNC milling, and multi-routing. This is because the table’s grid consists of 34 identical hardwood members, each precisely milled with tenons on both ends, requiring high accuracy. On the other hand, the metal fittings were milled from single pieces of carbon steel to align with the grid above, securing the legs underneath and allowing them to be positioned anywhere in the structure.

The LWT functions as a modular system, meaning that the grid can expand in either direction, the legs can be placed at any joint, and the height can be adjusted for different uses, such as dining or console tables.
