Carefully crafted at De La Espada’s solar-powered workshop in Portugal and designed in collaboration with acclaimed British designer Matthew Hilton, the table embodies a commitment to quality that deepens with use over time. It’s constructed from premium solid timber — available in American black walnut, American white oak, or European ash — each selected for its natural beauty and longevity. The surface highlights the wood’s grain and character, with finishing options that enhance warmth, colour, or texture.
Beyond its material excellence, the Refectory Fixed Table reflects meticulous attention to detail. Traditional wood joinery paired with modern engineering techniques ensures structural integrity, while hand-applied finishes offer a tactile, warm surface that invites interaction. The table’s generous proportions suit family gatherings and formal dinners alike, and with multiple size options ranging from compact to extra-large, it adapts to diverse spaces and needs.
With understated luxury at its core, this table transcends trends. Its robust simplicity and refined craftsmanship make it not just a functional piece of furniture but a sculptural statement that elevates any interior. Whether anchored in a high-end residential dining room or a bespoke design project, the Refectory Fixed Table is built to become a treasured focal point for years to come.
