A love letter to Danish form
Calm, deliberate, and beautifully balanced. The Lani Elskede draws from Danish design tradition — where every line has purpose and warmth lives in restraint.
Crafted in white oak, with walnut also available, its sculpted legs flow seamlessly into the frame, giving strength, softness, and quiet confidence.
Traditional black walnut boards on the familiar lines of the Lani Dines, shown here with a solid brass inlay running the full length of the top.
Broad-shouldered and unapologetic, Van Ness carries a single, massive Claro Walnut slab on a sculpted trestle base of matching walnut. Named after one of San Francisco’s grand boulevards, it’s a table built for presence: bold, architectural, and honest in its scale. Every inch celebrates the weight and grain of true hardwood, finished to a quiet glow that rewards touch.
Named after the lively, sun-splashed artery that runs through San Francisco’s Mission District, the Valencia table captures the same mix of color, texture, and rhythm found on the street itself. Its bookmatched Claro Walnut slab top ripples with figure and flame, divided by a subtle inlay of solid brass that gleams like afternoon light on glass storefronts. A sculpted trestle base grounds the piece: elegant, muscular, and meant for gatherings that stretch long into the night.
White oak with a chevron-pattern top and breadboard ends on a trestle base — a study in rhythm, restraint, and light. Each seam lines up like a chord resolving.
A nod to Watson & Crick: the Lani Double Helix twists two sculptural “ribbons” into a locked pedestal beneath a round top /// calm lines, uncompromising strength, elegant biology.
An heirloom-quality dining table in Claro and Black Walnut, set on a trestle base that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary lines.
A Nakashima-inspired cantilever desk. The Claro walnut top reaches out over black walnut legs and a floating cabinet, closed by a bent fumed oak door and finished with brass details.
The airflow design, the build quality, the way the walnut and oak complement each other, everything about my Lani Lobes screams precision. Erik’s decade of experience shows. San Francisco has a lot of makers, but Needham Woodworks is in a league of its own.
Warning: Lani Lobes may cause jealousy. Every friend who sees mine immediately wants one. Solid walnut, curves like sculpture, built to last. This is San Francisco custom furniture that actually feels alive.
My Lani Lobes cabinet feels like it was made just for me. Erik listened to every detail from finish to inlays, and delivered something that feels like an heirloom. It’s rare to find custom furniture makers in San Francisco with this level of care.
I’ve had my Lani Lobes cabinet for months now and I still get goosebumps walking into the studio. The craftsmanship is unreal walnut that glows joints tighter than my band’s rhythm section. This is custom furniture made in San Francisco at its finest.
As someone obsessed with clean lines I was blown away by the Lani Lobes The curves are elegan the proportions feel balanced and the woodwork is museum-level It’s not just gear storage it’s a statement piece of custom furniture. San Francisco is lucky to have Needham Woodworks.

Highly figured big leaf maple on a Japanese-inspired trestle base. Organic movement above, precise joinery below — a balance of spirit and discipline.
When you move into slab territory, you’re stepping beyond design into geology. These tables aren’t cut to fit a space — they define it. Every curve and void is preserved and composed intentionally. Slabs require significant material investment, and each piece is selected and designed around your room.
Two mirrored slabs of Claro walnut resting in quiet suspension. The cantilever base lifts the wood like a thought held in air — strength disguised as stillness.
A bookmatched Claro walnut slab — one tree mirrored into balance. The grain drifts like smoke and tide, a reminder that nature has its own geometry. No two will ever align quite this way again.
Claro walnut on a monumental scale. The table holds light and conversation with equal gravity — quiet authority carved from a single tree.
