Design Rooted in Heritage and Material Honesty

Inspired by "lafting"—the interlocking log construction method central to traditional Norwegian building—the Laft Table reflects a design language of structural clarity and interdependence. Each component supports the next, using gravity, weight and balance rather than mechanical fixings. Lundhs Antique®, with its unique depth, forms the heart of the design, anchoring the table both visually and functionally.

"The collaboration with Lundhs felt organic from the beginning. Their deep connection to Norwegian material heritage aligned naturally with our design values. We wanted to let the materials speak—and with Lundhs Antique®, there’s already a compelling story in the stone itself.”

A Modular Approach to Making

The design process began with a brief to create a piece for a bespoke hotel room during London Design Week. From the outset, the aim was to craft something both sculptural and functional. Working closely with our natural stone and fabrication teams, Hunting & Narud developed a modular system that allowed the heavy stone and solid wood elements to be slotted together with precision—no screws, no glue, just material intelligence at work. This approach made the piece easier to ship, assemble and disassemble, aligning with the principles of circular design.

Sustainability Built In

With a minimal palette of just stone and wood, the Laft Table exemplifies sustainability through simplicity. Lundhs Antique®—quarried with care from the Sirevåg in Norway—is incredibly durable, requiring no surface treatments or additives. It ages beautifully, resists wear, and can be returned to nature without harm. Its pairing with renewable timber creates a product designed not just to last, but to endure with grace.

A Piece Designed for Timeless Spaces

Though initially imagined as a slender hotel desk, the Laft Table’s refined form makes it equally at home in residential interiors. It functions effortlessly as a writing table, console or sideboard—its understated geometry and rich material palette adding warmth and depth without distraction.

Looking Ahead

The Laft Table marks the beginning of a meaningful dialogue between natural stone and contemporary design. Encouraged by its reception, both Lundhs and Hunting & Narud are exploring how this language might evolve into a full collection, carrying forward the same values of thoughtful making, lasting beauty and material integrity.

The table will be exhibited during 3 Days of Design, in Copenhagen, June 18–20, 2025.
