When dk3 was founded in 2009, the dk3_3 TABLE was launched as one of the first plank tables on the Scandinavian market. The design concept of combining two thin steel legs with large planks containing knots and natural wood structure was unusual back then. At that time, the market had inquired fine oak without knots and structure for a long period, and many people almost considered the so-called wild oak to be left-over wood. But to dk3, this was where the treasure was hidden - to move the beauty of nature in a minimalistic way into the living rooms of Scandinavian homes. One of the main issues of introducing the wild oak back in 2009, was the challenge of getting hold of oak with knots, cracks and natural structure, since the market was mainly concentrated on fine oak. And then the carpenters were sceptic about the idea of using whole planks on thin steel legs. But despite the obstacles and skepticism, dk3 founder and designer Jacob Plejdrup strongly believed in the idea, and within a few years the dk3_3 TABLE began to gain a strong foothold on the market. The table played a major role in the birth and establishment of dk3 in 2009, and the design heritage has been maintained and passed on to several other dk3 products since then. The tabletop of the dk3_3 TABLE is made of glued planks and is characterized by its straight edges. In 2011, Jacob Plejdrup went on to refine the dk3_3 TABLE with whole solid wood planks with hand sanded natural edges, and so the TREE TABLE was born.

Quercus virginiana Did you know the first three forestry laws passed by American Congress were aimed at protecting live oak? Live oak was so valuable to America’s security that it prompted the government to take measures toward protecting it. It was widely used in shipbuilding. But when a secretary of the navy discovered that almost half the live oaks from southern coastal lands were gone —much of it exported to foreign nations —it prompted president John Adams to persuade congress to establish a plantation to grow future crops. The Naval Appropriations Act of 1828 allowed the navy to maintain oak forests for their exclusive use. A lot can be said about a tree so beloved it inspired the administration to preserve it. Once metal began to replace wood in shipbuilding, the live oak transitioned from a staple in vessels to a shade tree, and with good reason. The tree’s branches spread nearly twice the distance of its height and form rounded canopies, making it ideal in the heat of the south. What’s in a Name? The live oak earned its common name because it is one of a few broad-leaf trees that retains its green foliage year-round, similar to an evergreen. Other […]

The Minimalists, Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus, according to their site, helped 20 million people through their many platforms understand and execute a minimalist design at home. I’ve always struggled with the idea of minimalism as expression of design, so their aptly named company began my internet research to look for a fresh perspective. And with Kim and Kanye’s new “minimalist monastery” home in design news, there were plenty of hot takes. But this stuck with me from Millburn and Nicodemus: “Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom from overwhelm. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from depression. Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we’ve built our lives around. Real freedom.” This is the sentiment I really connected with. The reminder that there is true beauty in simplicity. And furthermore, the ability to appreciate that simplicity in such a true way that it frees you from artifice. If total minimalism is not your style, don’t fret. We suggest focusing on the philosophy of it instead. Neutral color palette, high quality pieces, low clutter. Moreover, the reminder that things don’t make a home and the acquiring and accumulation of […]

The Great House Collection - like all our Kings of France French Oak Floor Collections (there are 4 of them) - are exceptional. The Kings of France French Oak Floor in the Great House Collection is aged and distressed with a feel of an 18th century patina and surface texture. The color is arrived by an oxidation method that works within the tannin of the oak. This process changes the color and texture of the hardwood without any stains or oils. It is this process that creates the most authentic, reclaimed looking oak floor. Danish Whitewash is offered in wide plank solid and engineered flooring, as well as herringbone, chevron, parquet floors and custom stair risers and treads. Color Way: Danish Whitewash has a bleached patina with undertones of oak.
