Love of wood, closeness to nature, and exquisite craftsmanship are the hallmarks of Van Rossum. Since 1978, Van Rossum has designed and handmade solid, sustainable oak furniture from its workshop in Bergharen, Netherlands.
All of the oak is FSC-certified and sourced from the French National Forestry Service from trees at least 50 years old. Time means quality. The timber is left to rest for a minimum of two years before being transported to the company’s workshop. When it arrives at Van Rossum, the wood is further seasoned in special climate-controlled chambers for up to one year, depending on the thickness of the wood.
The quality of wood is matched by the excellence of Van Rossum’s craftspeople. Their intimate knowledge of French oak, including its closed structure and tannin, is combined with a passion for oak’s beauty and the unique character of each piece of Van Rossum furniture. They specialize in end-grain surfaces. This rich textural finish occurs when the wood is cut at a 90-degree angle to the trunk length to reveal the patterns of its age rings and graining. The collection includes several tables composed of 7×7 cm end-grain squares.
