Product Insights
Seyval is a solid-wood coffee table from La Fabrique Allwood, hand-built to order by the shop's cabinetmakers rather than pulled from warehouse inventory: a full 1 1/4-inch solid top in walnut or oak (red or white) with no veneers, also buildable in maple, cherry and Quebec ash, the last milled from urban salvage of emerald-ash-borer-felled trees while still sound. Its core promise is material honesty under one matte, primarily water-based lacquer with no dye or stain, so the wood's own colour ages — walnut lightens with UV and shows smooth, even grain with shifting, near three-dimensional chatoyance, while oak stays visibly open-grained, ring-porous and tactile and deepens toward amber. Each table is one-of-a-kind in grain pattern and tonal variation from hand-selected boards. The stock 20 x 36 x 17 inch (51 x 91 cm) footprint is a deliberate small-to-medium scale for a modest living room and a pale floor or white wall; at 17 inches the top sits within one or two inches of a typical sofa seat cushion, but the 36-inch length suits a loveseat or compact two-seater, not a large sectional. Walnut and oak ship in the same footprint at the same 935 CAD, the accessible end of Montreal custom hardwood where bespoke starts near $3,500, and any size, colour or shape can be quoted in 24-48 hours; stock builds run about 25 days, custom dimensions or species roughly 10-12 weeks. The tradeoff is a living surface: wet drinks and hot mugs can mark the matte finish so coasters and placemats are required, the lacquer only slows moisture exchange and does not stop seasonal movement, cleaning must avoid ammonia, alcohol and bleach, and the warranty classes minor cracking, slight cupping and colour shift as normal rather than defects. The 1 1/4-inch top can be sanded flat and refinished where veneer cannot, and production is zero-waste — offcuts donated and reused by local businesses, 500 tons of wood saved a year — in a house collection themed on the art of the table and named for a Quebec grape variety.
