Behind the Scenes

Before your design call, take a good look at where you want your new dining table to go. Think about the space's size, style, and how you use it. Are family dinners a big deal, or is it more for morning coffee and puzzles? Snap some photos and jot down your thoughts, then email them to us. This gives us a great starting point. Also, feel free to check out our website to get a feel for our styles. The more you share before the call, the better we can help design the perfect table for your space!

This blog details the design process of a functional and aesthetically pleasing pedestal extension table. Overcoming issues of stability and cost, we created an adjustable pedestal base that splits into two for extended support, inspired by the Como pedestal. Check out our design process by reading the blog.

We recently had the unique opportunity to outfit a Chicago office with custom furniture, all crafted from Rock Maple. From a kitchen island and a round meeting room table that enhances conversation, to a statement barn door with the company's logo and an impressive U-shaped reception desk featuring a live edge maple accent, each piece was designed to not only serve a practical purpose but also to elevate the office's aesthetics. The highlight was a stunning 15-foot long conference room table, blending the natural beauty of live edge wood with a functional design, truly pulling the entire space together. 

At Loewen Design Studios, we make different kinds of seats for dining chairs because everyone likes something different. We make seats out of wood, fabric, leather, and faux leather.

When it comes to choosing the perfect table for two, it's all about creating a cozy, intimate space that reflects your personal style and fits your daily needs. Think of a table as more than just a piece of furniture; it's where you'll share meals, conversations, and make memories. 

At Loewen Design Studios, we want to build your perfect table. But we’re in Southern Ontario and you are wherever you call home. So how do we get your table to you? Let’s find out.

We ship a few different ways depending on where you’re located and if you’ve got specific timing in mind. During the design process or once you’ve bought something, we’ll talk you through your best options.

Freight Carrier

If you’re hoping to get your table as soon as possible, your best bet is with a freight carrier. We’ll package up your table - unassembled - with layers and layers of protection to make sure it travels the country safe and sound, with a freight carrier.

Once it leaves our shop, transit time can range from a few business days up to 2 weeks. The carrier will then call you once it’s at a warehouse close to you, to schedule an appointment for your delivery. They won’t try to deliver when you’re not home, to make sure your table doesn’t sit outside for too long. When it comes time for your delivery appointment, the driver team will deliver your table boxes curb-side, and you can bring them inside yourself. For bigger tables, we’d recommend having an extra person or two at home with you to help bring it in. Then at your leisure, you can unbox and assemble it in your home!

White Glove

If you’re based in the United States, we also provide White Glove delivery to most locations. Curious about if this is available in your area? Reach out and we’d be happy to check! This shipping method takes a little longer, but is super helpful if you don’t want to think about bringing in the table and assembling it.

Once leaving our shop, transit time can range from 1-6 weeks to arrive to your door. This depends on how far you’re located from our white glove partners’ “Final Mile Hubs”. Once your order arrives to the hub, they’ll reach out to schedule a delivery appointment with you. The day before your delivery, the warehouse team will check on every piece to make sure they’re in good shape, and then load it on a truck to you.

Once the delivery team gets to your door, they’ll bring the pieces into your house, unpack them, and assemble the table for you. All you have to do is choose where your table will live and clear a path to it.

Our Team

Select areas of the United States are close enough to our shop that sometimes, we can load your table onto our truck and deliver it ourselves. We love meeting our customers and delivering their perfect tables.

If you’re in an area we service, we’ll schedule you onto our next trip and let you know around when we plan to be in town. As we get closer to that timeframe, Sharon will reach out to let you know the date and time our driver expects to arrive. From the date of your order, you can expect to have your table delivered within the following 2 months.

When our driver gets to your door, they might need a hand bringing the table in. We’ll usually let you know in advance if our driver will need a second set of hands. Once the table pieces are inside, they’ll assemble it for you wherever you wish. If you’ve got any questions about the table or anything else, let them know! We’re happy to chat.

Those are the three ways that your table can make its way to you. Got any questions? Reach out and we’d be happy to walk you through it.

A Table is often the centerpiece of the room it sits in, but a room is about so much more than the furniture in it. A room is a place to come together. At Loewen Design Studios, a table is about a place to come together too.

We make custom tables so they can be perfect not only for your room, but for your gatherings.

For example, we made a low large coffee table for someone who wanted to do puzzles with their grandkids. It was made so the kids could sit on the floor, and all build the puzzle together. The large space let a lot of people gather around it, and the square shape let them all have about the same reach to the middle of the table. It was a table designed not simply for the space, but also for what they wanted to do with the space.

This is so much of why we design and build custom tables. Not only because a space may need a custom table to fit. Because sometimes what you want to do requires a little bit of custom. So your dining table can be build just for how you want to use it, perfect for you, and your home.

A World of Color and Texture: Imagine walking into a dining room where every detail tells a story. Maximalism is like a burst of creativity on your table – it's about embracing vibrant colors, rich textures, and unique patterns. It's where your table isn't just a piece of furniture, but a canvas for your personality. At Loewen Design Studios, we want your table to fit into your space perfectly. That's why we will customize most any part of your table to get you a perfect fit. 

Finding the Perfect Table: Picture a table that catches your eye and holds your attention. It could be a bold live-edge table, showcasing the untamed beauty of wood like the Jasper, or a flamboyant piece with ornate details like our Walnut Pedestal Table. It’s not just about eating; it's about experiencing. We specialize in creating statement pieces to be the heart of your maximalist dining room.

The Art of Mixing and Matching: Maximalism is the freedom to mix eras, styles, and textures. Imagine combining a sleek, modern chair with a rustic, hand-carved table. It's about creating a symphony of styles that somehow harmoniously coexist in your space. 

Balancing the Boldness: While maximalism loves excess, it also respects balance. It's like conducting an orchestra where every instrument has a role to play. Your statement table can shine, but it doesn't have to shout over the decor. It's about finding that sweet spot where every piece contributes to a cohesive whole. Matching a table like the Glenbow with subtle chairs can really make the table shine.
