About the seriesHeart Fossilized Oak, considered for the table
The Forge de Laguiole Heart Fossilized Oak series brings the traditional Laguiole table silhouette together with heart fossilized oak as its defining handle material. Each piece is made and finished in Laguiole, France, where the steel, handle and characteristic details are brought together by the workshop.
