A fine 8 seater beautifully designed by Richard Lowe and engineered by Savanna Wood. Resting on four massive turned pillars, this is a very impressive piece that allows for convivial banter or serious business discussions! The cleverly designed cross braces leave plenty of leg room to sit back with a fine glass of wine after dinner and admire the wonderful timber used to construct your very own masterpiece. The story of that timber begins over a hundred years ago, when railroads were built into Central Africa to open up the region to trade and administration. The ‘sleepers’ or ‘ties’ used to build these railways were harvested from a locally available resource, African Hardwoods. This timber, and in particular Zambezi Teak, is incredibly hard and durable and thus perfectly suited to the requirements of the Railroad Engineers. So hard that it is impervious to physical or biological attack, these magnificent timbers did not require any treatment to preserve them, and their beautiful, rich close grain polishes up to lustrous finish unmatched by any other timber in the world. This timber has been seasoned by the elements over the decades to the consistency of steel, making it extremely difficult to work with, but virtually indestructible.  It’s most attractive features however, are the lustrous colour and the rich, close grain that give each piece an opulence and finish carefully emphasized by the painstaking attention with which it is handmade. When you see the material we start with, you will be amazed at how such a tough, cracked and wasted slab of timber can be turned into such a magnificent product!

A sturdy, strong piece, the affluent Matetsi Square Table with beautifully turned legs is a fantastic addition to any home. Created exclusively for the esteemed Savanna Wood collection and the brainchild of none other than Savanna Wood’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Richard Lowe, the table is cleverly designed to maximise leg room and provide plenty of elbow space to as many as 8 people.
The generous slab of Zambezi Teak that makes up the table top surface is simply quite stunning and all sat around the table will marvel at the beautiful colours and rich, closely bound, diaphanous grain of one of the world’s most valuable timbers.
Throughout the construction process, numerous quality checks are conducted so as to ensure a final product of the highest integrity. On completion, the Matetsi Square Table with turned legs is fine sanded for hours and then hand rubbed and buffed to bring out the wood’s lovely natural colour.
