No veneer, no panel: solid timber, oiled, that sands back and repairs. It is the brand that best survives comparison in a Caribbean villa — provided you know what you are buying.
Ethnicraft — solid oak table
The house
Ethnicraft was founded in Antwerp a little over thirty years ago by Benoit Loos and Philippe Delaisse. The house is now based in Boom, Belgium, and ships to some fifty countries.
The stance has not changed: warm materials, a drawing that holds form and function together, and collections thought through for every room — from the table that defines a dining room to the small object that gives it meaning.
The ranges
Species and finishes run across the whole collection: a Bok table and a Whitebird sideboard answer each other, and a piece added three years later still matches.
5 photographies
The heart of the house: dining tables, including extending models, with matching chairs and benches. It is the family almost every project starts with.

Beds, slatted bases and bedside tables. European sizes are not American sizes: that is the point we check systematically before ordering.

The layer that finishes a room, matched to the collection’s species. Useful for warming a pale large-format floor.

Solid teak for the open air: tables, low seating and loungers. The wood greys and is re-oiled, not replaced — a warmer register than technopolymer, for a sheltered terrace.

Why this brand here
Solid is the right choice here, but not just any way. This is what we check with you before ordering.
Best-sellers

Solid oak or teak, integrated leaves. Goes from six to ten covers without moving anything — the table that follows the season.
To order from the factory
Full fronts, taut lines, slender base. The storage that does not crush a room opening onto the terrace.
To order from the factory
Oak shelves fixed to the wall, no upright on the floor. Wins back the square metre a bookcase always takes.

Pebble top in solid oak, no sharp corner. The right compromise in a rental living room with children.

The catalogues
Ordering and delivery
Solid wood travels heavy and breathes. The three points that decide the budget and the long-term hold are never in the catalogue.
