Obstacles Tables
Obstacles emerged out of a desire to make objects that are deliberate. We believe in conscious simplification, following a process of geometric reduction that allows the essential quality of each object to emerge.
The concepts behind our collections are grounded in daily life. We make furniture that can be lived with. Objects infused with a sense of comfort and stability.
We collaborate with a careful selection of Spanish fine woodworkers, maintaining close involvement with them throughout the design process. This partnership allows us to preserve their tradition, reinterpreting their knowledge to respond to a contemporary context.
We are committed to the longevity and sustainable lifecycle of our furniture. We work with oak that is FSC-certified, Grade A Quality European Oak, carefully selecting sections of the trunk with minimal knots and unique grain patterns. By creating a unique assembly system, we avoid the use of glue in the joineries of the furniture, allowing the wood to shift naturally over time without losing its stability. We work with natural pigments and finishes. We are conscious of each step of the design process, allowing us to produce products that are ethical and environmentally sound.
Carefully sanded and shaped, stained to age with grace.

Bespoke Solid Aged French Natural Weatherd Oak Barrel Round Dining Table
By Rombouts Bespoke Oak Furniture
Located in Casteren, NB
Introducing our round barrel table, a stunning Modern Rustic dining table—an embodiment of craftsmanship and contemporary design, redefining the essence of circular dining tables for an unparalleled dining experience where everybody can see the guest's face. It features a centrally positioned circular wooden column or barrel, enhancing the ease of chair placement without any obstructive table legs. The design allows for ample legroom and facilitates comfortable seating around the table. With its robust yet elegant build, this round table seamlessly blends rustic allure with practicality.
This remarkable table features a solid baked oak tabletop crafted from wide planks with beautiful grain patterns. The planks are planed flat on the underside and only sanded on the top, revealing the saw cut from the bandsaw and dark spots from the artificial drying process. As a result, the surface of the table has a slightly uneven or bumpy character. Brimming with small natural cracks and knots, the wood presents a charmingly rustic aesthetic. The wood has been lightly finished with a grayish tint, giving it a subtle weathered look. The protective matte lacquer finish makes the table comfortable to use without risking stains.
With its distinct design and superior finish, the round-barrel dining table...
