I Beam Table Base

Contact us for pricing

The I-Beam table base is built from hot-rolled steel I-beams, hand-selected for grain and character and finished with rows of rivets along every face — hundreds of them, individually placed. Architectural in scale, sculptural in presence, and equally at home under a dining table, a conference table, or a single pedestal occasional piece.

Available as a single pedestal, paired for dining, or specified in three or more bases for boardroom-length conference tables. Finishes shown include natural steel, aged paint finish in red, and a high-gloss red paint finish with chrome accents.

Description

Architectural steel, built one rivet at a time

The I-Beam is one of our most structural designs — built from hot-rolled handmade steel I-beams, hand-selected for grain and character, and detailed with hundreds of rivets set individually by hand. Every rivet is placed, not pressed, which is why the surface reads as handmade rather than industrial-spec. The base supports virtually any top — solid hardwood, steel-clad, glass, or stone — and scales from intimate to monumental without losing its proportions.

Three table types, one base

The I-Beam is specified in three primary configurations:

  • Dining tables — paired bases supporting a solid hardwood, steel-clad, or zinc top. A natural fit for residential dining rooms and intimate restaurant settings. Browse the full industrial dining table collection for paired examples.
  • Conference tables — two, three, or more bases set in line to support boardroom-length tops. Common configurations run from eight-seat conference tops to fourteen-seat boardroom tables. See related work on the conference table collection page.
  • Pedestal tables — a single I-Beam under a smaller top, used as an occasional table, entry table, or sculptural standalone piece.

Finishes

Every I-Beam base is finished by hand. The three finishes shown in the gallery are representative — custom paint and color matching are available on request.

  • Natural steel — sealed clear over the raw mill surface, letting the grain, mottling, and rivet shadows read directly
  • Aged paint finish in red — hand-applied, hand-finished for depth and patina, then sealed
  • High-gloss red paint with chrome accents — automotive-grade paint over a meticulously prepped surface, with polished chrome on key details

Built to order in the United States

Every I-Beam base is built to order in our Phoenix workshop. Lead time is twelve weeks or more depending on configuration and finish. Standard delivery is freight curbside; white-glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available and confirmed during your commission conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the I-Beam base suitable for daily use?+
Yes. The base is built from hot-rolled steel and sealed for everyday use. Tops are finished with a restaurant-grade sealer when specified for high-use environments. With reasonable care, an I-Beam table will serve a household, an office, or a restaurant for decades.
Can the I-Beam scale to a long conference table?+
Yes. Conference and boardroom configurations use two, three, or more bases set in line beneath a single continuous top. We routinely build I-Beam conference tables from eight to fourteen seats, and larger on request.
What finishes are available?+
Natural steel, blackened steel, and aged paint finish are our standard options. Custom paint and color matching — including high-gloss automotive finishes with polished chrome accents — are available on request.
What tops work with the I-Beam base?+
The base is engineered to support virtually any top: solid hardwood, steel-clad, zinc, glass, or stone. Top material, thickness, and overhang are confirmed during your commission conversation.
How does the commission process work?+
Begin your commission by reaching out through our contact page. We discuss intended use, scale, top material, finish, and timing. From there we issue an investment estimate and renderings, confirm specifications, and begin the build. Lead time is twelve weeks or more.
