The Tess Table : A Sculptural Dialogue Between Beech, Rattan and Brass

A dining table can be more than a place to gather. It can become the quiet architecture of a room a piece that sets the tone, carries the light and gives rhythm to the entire interior.

With Tess, Bérengère Leroy explores a warmer, more intimate vision of the sculptural table. Where some statement pieces rely on monumentality, Tess draws its strength from balance: the softness of honey-varnished beech, the tactile rhythm of tataoui rattan, the subtle gleam of brass and the rounded presence of carved wood.

Designed as a bespoke creation, Tess is not a fixed object but a composition. Its dimensions, proportions, materials and bases can be studied in dialogue with the interior, allowing each table to become a singular piece, shaped by the atmosphere it is meant to inhabit.

A table shaped by warmth and rhythm

The first impression of Tess is one of warmth. Its beech top, finished with a honey varnish, brings a soft golden tone to the dining room. The wood does not impose itself; it creates a feeling of calm, presence and natural elegance.

Around the top, a finely gouged edge introduces a discreet sculptural gesture. This detail gives the table a crafted contour, as if the surface had been gently carved to catch the light. It is a quiet signature visible enough to bring character, subtle enough to remain timeless.

This is where Tess finds its balance: between simplicity and ornament, function and emotion, craftsmanship and contemporary interior design.

Tataoui rattan as a tactile architectural base

One of the defining elements of the Tess table is its tataoui rattan pedestal. With its generous cylindrical form, it brings texture, rhythm and a Mediterranean sensibility to the composition.

The rattan base does not simply support the table. It gives it a tactile identity. Its linear texture contrasts with the softness of the beech top and creates a vertical rhythm beneath the surface.

A thin brass plinth at the base adds a precious accent. This discreet metallic line catches the light and elevates the natural quality of the rattan without making the table feel ostentatious.

In Tess, the dialogue between rattan and brass is not decorative excess. It is a matter of proportion, contrast and refinement.

Brass and rounded beech: a sculptural composition of legs

Tess is built around a deliberate asymmetry of materials and forms. Alongside the tataoui rattan pedestal, the table can combine a slim brass leg and a rounded beech sphere leg, each bringing its own character.

The brass leg introduces light and verticality. It acts almost like a line of reflection, a precise metallic note within the softer wood composition.

The rounded beech leg, shaped as a succession of wooden volumes, brings another energy: more playful, more sculptural, more tactile. It echoes the natural warmth of the top while adding a distinctive decorative rhythm beneath it.

Together, these elements give Tess its singular identity. The table is not designed as a symmetrical object. It is imagined as a composition of gestures, materials and volumes — each base contributing to the overall balance.

A bespoke dining table for refined interiors

Tess belongs to the world of made-to-measure furniture, but its value lies in more than customization. It is a table that can be adapted in dimensions, shape and material balance, while preserving a strong artistic identity.

In a dining room, Tess brings softness and character. In a private residence, it can become a warm center of gravity. In a hospitality project, it offers a more intimate and artisanal alternative to conventional dining furniture.

Its strength is versatility without neutrality. Tess can be composed for a Mediterranean interior, a warm contemporary space, a villa, a dining room, a breakfast room or a more informal reception area. The table brings presence, but also ease.

It is a piece designed for interiors where material matters.

How to style the Tess table

The Tess table is especially beautiful when surrounded by textures that echo its warmth.

Upholstered chairs, natural fabrics, soft ochre tones, muted browns, woven details and sculptural lighting can all reinforce its identity. The table also works beautifully with cushions, banquettes or low seating in the same atmosphere, creating a room that feels both elegant and lived-in.

The goal is not to over-decorate around Tess. Its composition is already rich. The surrounding elements should give it space: textiles to soften, lighting to reveal, and a few objects that bring life to the surface.

Tess invites a kind of interior design that feels natural, tactile and deeply personal.

From furniture to signature piece

At Bérengère Leroy, a table is never only a functional object. It is part of a wider decorative language, where materials, textiles, finishes and proportions are composed together.

Tess expresses this vision with quiet confidence. Its honey-toned beech, gouged edge, tataoui rattan base, brass accent and rounded wooden leg create a piece that feels handmade, warm and unmistakably singular.

It is not a table designed to disappear. It is a table designed to inhabit a room.

Create your own Tess table

Each Tess table is created to order. Its dimensions, shape, materials and base composition can be studied according to the interior, the desired atmosphere and the way the piece will be used.

Whether imagined as a dining table, a reception table or a sculptural centerpiece for a bespoke interior project, Tess can be composed with the Maison to reflect a singular vision.

To create a Tess table is to begin with material emotion: the warmth of beech, the rhythm of rattan, the light of brass and the softness of a handmade gesture.
