BRANCHES DINING TABLE

Designer: Emily Roose

Branches Dining Table | Award-Winning 12-Foot Custom Oak Dining Table

Truckee, CA

Designed by Emily Roose, Principal of Emily Roose Interiors, the Branches Dining Table is an award-winning custom furniture piece created for the Thunderbird Circle residence in Truckee, California. Conceived as a statement element within a grand entertaining space, the 12-foot table was designed to accommodate large gatherings while serving as a sculptural focal point within the home.

Inspired by the surrounding Lake Tahoe landscape, the design features a custom-stained oak top paired with a CNC-cut metal base that references the organic branching forms of the forest. The piece reflects a biophilic design approach, bringing natural influence into the interior through a modern architectural lens.

The concept extends beyond the table itself, influencing the broader design language of the residence through nature-inspired artwork, materials, and architectural details that visually connect the dining and living spaces.

The Branches Dining Table reflects Emily Roose Interiors’ approach to custom design—where craftsmanship, materiality, and sculptural form come together to create pieces that feel both functional and deeply connected to place.
