American black walnut, American white oak or European ash
Made in Portugal by De La Espada
Tavli is a solid wood dining table with a tabletop that features a decorative joint detail: each plank in the tabletop is shaped with an undulating edge, creating a continuous, repeating geometric pattern across the length of the table. Named after the backgammon tavli board, this table reimagines the decorative wood detailing of its namesake.
