alvari

What does alvari stand for?
For a friend made of wood. The idea behind alvari is to create something that accompanies you for as long as possible, that listens to you, remembers things, and is full of character. When I founded the furniture label alvari in Berlin with two other enthusiasts in 2012, we were supported by many of our friends and acquaintances, who are still connected with alvari today. Today, alvari is a furniture label that offers simple and elegant tables made of solid oak and linoleum, based on a self-developed and patented furniture system, with ever-increasing popularity.

Regionality
We now produce everything from mini to giant tables using one system and, above all, using the same method, in two production networks of regional wood suppliers, processors, and local joineries. The idea behind alvari is to operate as regionally as possible and only use resources available in the Berlin-Brandenburg or Rhine-Main region. One exception is our aluminum metal feet, which create a cool, clear separation between the tables and the floor. The oak wood comes from, for example, Berlin's Schorfheide, Spessart, or Taunus mountains.

Construction & Durability
The unique feature of the alvari construction principle is that the table frames are self-supporting, and linoleum or wooden tabletops are simply inserted. No screws or connecting fittings are used; stability comes from the alvari profile and the special corner joints. Thanks to the special plug-in system, our furniture can be assembled and disassembled in five minutes, even by people with no DIY experience.

What special benefits do our customers have?
Customers can use an online configurator to customize their table to their individual requirements based on our design suggestions. This means they can determine all table dimensions themselves, as well as select various wood types and tabletops. Furthermore, we can fulfill almost any request upon request—even for a single table.

Here are two of our favorite design suggestions:
An alvari table with a solid oak frame and an inset linoleum tabletop in Dorian (gray). Second, we're showing our narrow table with a solid oak tabletop. The tables are available with either invisible "shadow feet," which create a shadow gap with the floor, or oak and aluminum feet.

Design & Quality
The design has a very simple, straightforward, and architectural quality. This is due to the fact that the tables consist of two frame profiles, with the rear frame protruding behind the front. This is reminiscent of doors or portals surrounded by recessed profiles that draw the eye toward the experience of passing through. Their cubic shape also makes the alvari furniture appear like small architectural pieces in the room and blends very well with design classics, partly because of their understated nature.
For us, design quality primarily means the use of high-quality materials in the construction of the furniture, as well as the aesthetics of the furniture itself. This is inspired by the technical elegance of Michael Thonet's chairs as well as by Asian design principles. However, for us, design quality also means being able to shape the entire process, from wood selection and drying to furniture production and delivery, and finally to the customer experience.
