The smallest trestle table we have ever made<br />
was a 60cm long x 45cm wide bedside trestle<br />
table for a client in Manly. It has a white table<br />
top and gloss black trestle legs. The largest<br />
we have made is a 3.6m long dining trestle<br />
table with a gorgeously thick timber table top<br />
and vintage blue legs for a client in Canberra.<br />
The table top alone weighed nearly 100kgs!<br />
We also custom-make trestle tables for shop<br />
and restaurant fit-outs. We are currently<br />
custom-making 3.1m long dining trestle tables<br />
for a fantastic new tapas restaurant and<br />
wedding venue being fitted out in Melbourne<br />
and timber table tops for a wedding invitation<br />
and stationery store on Perth.<br />
What is your niche?<br />
We really love the simplicity of trestle tables,<br />
what they communicate and how they make<br />
people feel.<br />
They are not your ordinary table - they have<br />
the ability to evoke feelings in people, they put<br />
smiles on faces, drag gasps from people’s<br />
hearts and stir up memories of country drives,<br />
grandpa’s shed and farmhouse goodness. I<br />
can’t think of many other designs that have<br />
this kind of simple, honest character and<br />
personality. They are iconic and I think our<br />
obsession with all things trestle really shows<br />
through our designs, workmanship and the<br />
devotion we put into each table we create<br />
As far as we know we are the only company<br />
in Australia devoted solely to designing and<br />
manufacturing high-quality trestle tables that<br />
are real ‘wow’ pieces of furniture.<br />
We don’t want our tables to be two-year<br />
mass-market wonders that are replaced when<br />
their paint chips and their legs wobble. We<br />
want our tables to last generations and the<br />
workmanship, integrity, passion and skill we<br />
pour into each table really shows this.<br />
We are so honored to be part of this new<br />
movement that customers are embracing<br />
where locally hand-made products are valued<br />
and artisans are supported to keep skills and<br />
traditions alive in local communities.<br />
What is in the future for Plank and Trestle?<br />
We have been overwhelmed with the journey<br />
we have been on the last four to five years and<br />
could have not imagined where it has taken<br />
us. We are still in awe that people share our<br />
love of trestle tables and are overwhelmed by<br />
the support we have received from our clients.<br />
The future for Plank and Trestle feels really<br />
bright! Our immediate priority is to get some<br />
down time to work on our new ranges.<br />
We have three or four on paper in the design<br />
stage. We have received lots of wholesale<br />
inquiries from the most amazing stores and<br />
selling through retail outlets is something we<br />
would really love to do and will be working<br />
towards over the next twelve months.<br />
