Brutalist French Dining Table in Gouge Solid Elm by Cabinetmaker

Made by the skilled hands of a French cabinetmaker, this organically formed table embraces both the inherent qualities of the wood and a distinctly artisanal sensibility. The top is particularly striking. Rather than being planed to uniform smoothness, it has been worked with a gouge, producing a dense field of shallow, rhythmic depressions that animate the surface and catch the light unevenly.
