Sustainable life at home
Handcrafted feeling, modern technique
LISABO table has an organic shape and bevelled edges, a design that previously could only be made with solid wood. We wanted to find a more environmentally friendly and less expensive solution and developed a technique using solid wood around the edges and wood slats inside the table top. The construction makes the table very strong, so you can use it for many years. The natural beauty comes through thanks to a specially developed lacquer that also makes the surface durable. A real wood feeling and a unique table – without time-consuming upkeep!
Energy and resources
Less wood, stronger table
With LISABO table we use wood slats inside the table top and solid wood around the edges. This innovative construction makes the table super strong, so there is no need for support rails underneath. You’ll also find less material, such as less metal hardware. All this so you can enjoy great quality at an affordable price.
Material
What is veneer?
A veneer is a thin wooden sheet attached to things like particleboard to add a durable surface and a natural wood look – so we enjoy the many benefits of wood without using solid wood. The most common veneer types are birch, ash, oak, and beech, and we’ve made a special UV lacquer that helps preserve the wood's natural structure. A benefit with a slightly thicker veneer is how you can repair and sand the surface if it’s damaged to give furniture a longer and more beautiful life.
Function solution
Extra table for parties
Sometimes you need a few more tables than usual, such as when you have family and friends over. LISABO is a perfect party table. It’s easy to store in parts then take out and put together when you need it, as it only has one screw in each leg.

Designer thoughts
"The idea behind LISABO was to create a series with the distinct feeling of wood, a floating expression and durable, easy to assemble construction. The round shapes and slanted edges create a hand-crafted look and we chose a matte lacquer on the ash veneer so the furniture will keep its natural wood feel. Each piece in the series work beautifully together or individually.”
