Nihal Wooden Naga Table

Strip away everything unnecessary and what you're left with is the Nihal. A long, low slab of solid teak, close to the ground, resting on four short cylindrical legs. Nothing added. Nothing hidden. Just wood that has been around for 60 to 80 years, sourced from Nagaland and shaped by hands that knew exactly what to keep and what to take away.

The surface is wide and flat with a gently irregular edge, hand-hewn and left unrefined. You can see the chisel marks across the top, feel the slight undulations where the tool met the grain. The colour shifts between deep brown and soft grey depending on the light, a patina that no finish or stain could replicate.

This is furniture at its most honest. No ornamentation. No pretence. The Nihal sits low and quiet, doing exactly what a good table should. Use it as a coffee table in a pared-back living room, a display surface for books and ceramics, or a grounding piece in a space that needs something real.

It's the kind of table that looks like it's always been there. And once it's in your home, you'll feel the same way.
