Parquet-Style Wooden Top from Reclaimed Offcuts

Hours of work and love go into each of these unique, beautiful tops. Besides each creation being one of a kind, it also helps our environment, assists with stimulating the local economy and promotes the ethos of reducing, reusing, and recycling.

A single “Parquet style” top can contain around 15 different types of wood. The Parquet style tops are manufactured for Ergonomicsdirect by Ecoland, a Cape Town-based company that specialises in reclaimed wooden furniture and artisan wooden decor. Most of the timber for the reclaimed tabletops are salvaged from renovations of old buildings in the Western Cape, resulting in the timber generally being over 50 years old. The pieces of wood are carefully selected, laminated together, and then reworked into a smooth, “puzzle-like” finish.

The manufacturer performs wood waste removal functions for several large-scale industrial clients, retailers as well as private homes. Only selected wood “waste” is reclaimed and turned into beautiful furniture and decor. Creating unique furniture and decor from reclaimed wood also promotes skills development and creates employment in the manufacturing, general maintenance, waste removal and recycling sectors. Ergonomicsdirect is delighted to support the creation of these employment opportunities.

The standard top is 1500mm long x 800mm wide and around 25mm thick. The thickness can vary slightly, depending on the reclaimed timber used. Tops can be made to order with a custom size and finish of your choice. Please note that custom tops will differ in price and carry a lead time of between 2 – 5 weeks.

We generally have sample tops at our Ergonomicsdirect showroom in Cape Town, should you want to view a sample unit.

Kindly be advised that a minimum deposit of 50% is required for all custom tops. Please note that this deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellations.

Our handmade wood products are crafted from reclaimed wood and exude unique character and charm. Please note that due to their artisanal nature, slight variations in size may occur. Additionally, reclaimed wood may retain markings from its previous life, adding to its authenticity. Each piece carries a 6-month limited warranty period, ensuring your satisfaction with the craftsmanship. Thank you for choosing our eco-conscious creations.
