A coffee table is often the centrepiece of a living room, tying the space together while serving as a practical surface for everyday life. Choosing a sustainable coffee table means finding a piece that’s not only stylish but also durable, healthy, and locally made.

What makes a coffee table sustainable?

• Local materials: Solid NZ timber and steel instead of imported MDF or veneers.

• Non-toxic finishes: Natural oils that are safe for your home.

• Longevity: Built to last and able to be refinished or repaired.

• Low carbon footprint: Made and processed in NZ, keeping the full supply chain local.

The Innate approach
At Innate Furniture, our coffee tables are crafted from West Coast beech, Northland tōtara, and recycled rimu, paired with NZ steel bases. These timbers are sustainably harvested and processed locally, reducing carbon miles and supporting New Zealand communities.

Each table is finished with natural oils like Osmo, or our innovative UV-cured natural oils, which are solvent-free, toxin-free, and cure in minutes instead of days. This ensures your coffee table is both healthier for your home and better for the environment.

Custom design options
No two living rooms are the same. That’s why our 3D configurator (launching November 2025) will let you customise your coffee table online — adjusting the timber, size, and finish — and see it in real time before ordering.

Why it matters
Choosing a sustainable coffee table is about more than the piece itself. It’s about investing in local industries, reducing imports, and creating healthier homes. With nationwide delivery, we make it easy for Kiwis everywhere to access furniture that reflects their values.

So, what’s the best sustainable coffee table in NZ? One that’s solid, local, toxin-free, and designed to last for generations. That’s exactly what we make at Innate.
