{"product_id":"13","title":"Harja Rect — Solid Walnut Extendable Dining Table","description":"\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThere is a particular kind of intelligence in furniture that looks effortless. The Harja Rect is that intelligence, applied to the most-used object in a dining room. A wide rectangular plateau of solid walnut — warm honey in morning light, amber-brown at dusk — sits on four angled slab legs that lean outward at a precise ten-degree inclination. The legs are not tapered rods. They are full-thickness lames of walnut, their inner face cut away at an angle to create a triangular section that is at once more structural and more refined than a conventional leg could be. Where they meet the underside of the plateau, they do so through a continuous apron that is itself part of the structural logic — visible from the seat, honest about its purpose, beautiful in its proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe plateau surface reads as two boards because it is two boards, glue-joined at the centre with a tight, barely-visible seam that runs the full length of the table. This is not a design conceit — it is the consequence of using timber at full width, with the grain running continuously from one end to the other. The join is the evidence of craft: of a maker who chose wide, real boards over veneered sheet goods, and who made the honest decision to show the join rather than hide it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eIn its extendable version, the same central join accommodates a butterfly leaf mechanism that opens to reveal a matched panel in the same walnut — grain-matched to the plateau, invisible when closed, generous when open. The extension adds 40 to 50 centimetres and moves the table from a composed six-seat piece to a relaxed eight to ten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThis is the table the collection needed: the one you use every day. Not a statement made once and admired, but a presence that improves with age, with use, with the slow darkening that walnut undergoes over years of honest service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-group-title\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlateau:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSolid walnut — book-matched two-board construction, continuous grain\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLegs \u0026amp; apron:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSolid walnut slab — same species and finish as plateau\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNatural hardwax oil — matte, food-safe, grain-enhancing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eExtension leaf (extendable version):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSolid walnut — grain-matched to plateau\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions \u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 91 x H74cm \/ with extension : 264 x 91x 74cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDesign Style : \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eMid-Century Scandinavian\u003c\/span\u003e \/\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eContemporary\/ Craft\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eHonest Construction\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003eHeirloom \/Modern\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-tag\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body-text\"\u003eThe Harja draws from the mid-century Scandinavian cabinetmaking tradition — specifically the post-war Danish and Norwegian workshops that prioritised structural honesty, solid timber construction, and a quiet confidence in wood as the primary design element.
