Welcome Dining Table

Welcome Dining Table in Oak designed by Matthew Raw draws inspiration from building facades and historical surface application of tiled buildings, the 8-seater dining table is an evolution of the ceramicists Welcome cabinet range. The Welcome Dining Table has a solid oak top with two fully tiled cylindrical columns at the base, finished with two inlaid circular tiled areas on the surface, as though the columns emerge through the timber top. The hand-built tiles used on the table are the same proportion as the welcome range and come in a range of custom glazes, suitable for the top. Matthew has collaborated with two different craftspeople to product the forms on which he then applies his handmade tiles. Whilst Mudlarking on the River Thames, Matthew was fascinated by the pottery sherds that had washed up on the foreshore. He took inspiration from the sherds and their varied hues in creating the glaze for this table.

PROCESS

Matthew hand rolls, trims, fires, glazes and installs each and every tile by hand. It is a lengthy process when repeated hundreds of times, but it allows him to produce a subtle range of finishes that can only be achieved this way. The clay is red stoneware clay, which reacts with the transparent glaze to create the colour. Matthew has collaborated with two different craftspeople to product the forms on which he then applies his handmade tiles. There is a plywood structure inside the columns for strength and stability and the surface of the table is made from solid English oak. The tiling is finished with terracotta grout.
