Designed for Life not Landfill

We believe that furniture should be built to stand the test of time, both in quality and style. That’s why our bespoke dining tables are meticulously crafted with longevity in mind, offering timeless design and unparalleled durability.

Shockingly, 1.6 million tonnes of bulky waste, 42% of which is furniture, is sent to UK landfills annually. At Design in the Sand, we’re proud to create tables that break this cycle. Made from high-quality timber and built to endure, our furniture is designed to stay in homes—not landfills.

Whether passed down through generations or loved for a lifetime, our dining tables are made to be admired forever.

Water-Based Paints & Finishes

Water-based coatings are central to our eco-conscious approach. Unlike oil-based alternatives, water-based coatings produce fewer emissions during manufacturing and contain lower levels of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring cleaner air during and after application. They’re also safer to clean up, requiring only soap and water, which keeps toxic solvents out of our waterways.

With their resilience against yellowing and UV damage, water-based paints are ideal for dining tables, offering longer-lasting beauty. They also offer better protection for the natural wood with deeper penetration and a tougher surface. By choosing water-based finishes, we create bespoke dining tables that are both stunning and environmentally responsible.

Ethically Sourced Materials

We make every effort to ensure any materials and finished goods we purchase externally is as ethically sourced as possible. We collaborate with suppliers and factories that share our ethical and sustainable values, ensuring that every item you bring into your home is crafted with integrity and care.

Nothing is 100% certain in the increasing rush to tick the ‘sustainability box’, but rest assured this really matters to us, we have done our best to research and check out our suppliers.
