3Plank Furniture
Know your furniture
Reduce Environmental Impact
Increase Satisfaction
3Plank Furniture was inspired by my desire to make affordable furniture, whilst celebrating the wood used in each piece.
The 3Plank line looks to explore what is possible using limited materals without comprimising modern design, quality and function.
The 3Plank Desk
Made with 3 solid Oak planks, and the ability to be deconstructed for transport, this desk is minimalist and practical - ready to boost your productivity.
With its top measuring 105x58cm, it is the perfect size for a laptop and notebook, without taking up too much space. Of course, being handmade, the length is customisable.
The 3 +1 Table
Say goodbye to weak, peeling veneers! This solid Oak table is built with longevity in mind.
The modern-looking angled legs give a solid foundation to the heavy 2.7cm thick top. With the advantage of being able to be disassembled, it is easy to move into any space with tricky access.
The top measures 140cm x 85cm, which will comfortably seat 4. Extention leaves are an optional upgrade to make your table 200cm long. The table length can be customised on request.
The 3Plank Bench/TV Stand
Whether you’re in need of a place to sit yourself down or stand your TV, this is the answer.
Measuring 130cm long, this is designed to house up to a 50” TV, however can be customised to suit your requirements. The shelf underneath is the perfect height for shoes, or alternatively use for games consoles and Hi-Fi equipment with purpose-built cable managment at the back.
Robust, solid Oak construction means that it could seat an elephant… however this has not yet been tested.
The 3 Planks
Here are the 3 planks. I buy my timber from a local Oak specialist. The wood is kiln dried, meaning it is suited to indoor use as it is already fully dried.
When selecting planks, it takes time and knowledge to carefully consider the baords. Placement of knots, twists and warpage, and the aesthetic of the grain, are a few of the characteristics I look out for.
When I get the chosen planks into the workshop, I begin by cutting them down from 3m. Once they are cut to a more appropriate size to make a leg, shelf, or top, they are planed. This makes them a uniform thickness and gives a square edge. It is also the first time I am able to see the true beauty of the grain hidden under the rough surface.
From here I cut, shape, join, glue, sand and oil, until I have a quality piece of furniture, that is made to last.
