The timber used for each Kentholz table is often sourced from deconstruction projects within Berlin, giving the material a direct lineage to the city’s architectural past. This act of salvaging is fundamental to the brand's approach, which pairs a minimalist design sensibility with a clear ecological purpose. By reclaiming and repurposing this wood, the Berlin-based workshop gives a second life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, grounding each piece of furniture in a tangible story of urban resourcefulness.
The design itself is robust and minimalist, intended to highlight the inherent character of the salvaged wood. Each surface is unique, with grain patterns, nail holes, or slight discolorations preserved as part of its history rather than sanded into uniformity. Handcrafted in a Berlin workshop, the tables are finished to be both durable and functional, serving as practical surfaces for dining, work, or communal gatherings. The construction is solid and straightforward, letting the story of the wood remain the central focus.
It’s common to find these tables in Berlin’s cafés, studios, and private homes – spaces that often share the same blend of industrial heritage and progressive thinking. The furniture serves as a quiet nod to the city’s culture of creative reuse and environmental consciousness. The result is a functional piece of design that carries an authentic connection to the urban environment from which its materials were sourced.
