Lamu

Lamu two-tone joinery: the mitred corner where a clear-oak shelf meets a dark walnut end panel, the open compartment behind catching a black leg and a ceiling light.

Bespoke table and architectural joinery collection inspired by East African coastal vernacular craft and proportions.

Named in homage to the historic Swahili architecture and carved timber traditions of Lamu Island, this bespoke table study blends robust monolithic silhouettes with delicate joinery rebates.

Designed by AFK and visualized by RDVS Studios, the piece interrogates tectonic clarity, solid timber stability, and the interaction of natural oil finishes under ambient daylight.

Lamu underframe on the diagonal: the bracket and twin legs read through to a second bracket at the far corner, a pink wall beyond the oak plane.
Lamu console from above: an oak top and lower shelf returning into a walnut end panel, a black tubular leg just visible, standing on grey plank flooring.
Lamu leg fixings from underneath: black tubular legs hung from a mitred black steel bracket, its brass screw caps showing against the pale oak underside.
