Project Overview
Designed as the focal point of a generous boardroom, this four-metre solid French Oak conference table demonstrates the scale possible with Vernay’s long-length and wide-section French Oak. Three substantial solid oak planks form the tabletop, creating a calm, continuous surface with the material presence required for a commercial interior.
The table was designed as a one-piece solid oak composition using long-length French oak planks and beam legs, allowing the top to read as a calm, continuous surface with a restrained architectural form.
Designing a Solid French Oak Boardroom Table
The top is formed from three 420 × 32 mm solid French oak planks running the full 3.6 m length, finished with breadboard ends in matching oak to bring the overall length to just over 4 m. The legs are crafted from 100 × 100 mm French oak beams in a simple trestle-style frame with a stretcher – providing mass and stability while keeping the detailing deliberately minimal.

Long-length supply – 3.6 m planks minimise joints and maintain an uninterrupted grain across the surface.
Breadboard ends – a traditional solid-timber detail that accommodates movement while providing a refined visual edge.
Beam legs – 100 × 100 mm sections give grounded presence and excellent stability.
Hard wax oil finish – durable, repairable and designed to retain the tactile feel of real timber over time.
Seating for 12 on a single shared surface.
Exceptional stability from the solid 32 mm top and beam base.
A tactile centrepiece that reinforces the quality and permanence of natural materials.
Spot-repairable and re-oilable in place as the timber develops its patina.
By combining long planks, breadboard ends and solid beam legs, the table becomes both a signature element in the room and a working showcase of Vernay’s architectural French oak section
Solid French Oak cladding that carries the material palette from floors and joinery onto walls, ceilings and architectural surfaces.
Wide, long-format solid French Oak flooring, designed to coordinate naturally with stairs, joinery and architectural elements.
French Oak parquetry blocks, chevron and Versailles panels for patterned floors that coordinate with the wider Vernay collection.
Large-format French Oak slabs and full boules for statement tables, furniture, reception counters and one-off bespoke pieces.
French-made engineered flooring with a substantial 6mm French Oak wear layer for stability without compromising natural character.
Substantial solid French Oak treads and risers, with custom nosings and finishes designed to coordinate with Vernay flooring.
