It was a table that bore the weight of a thousand conversations. Sturdy and unyielding, like the people who once gathered round it in the smoky haze of the Working Men’s Club.

The legs, thick and solid, were worn smooth from decades of boots resting against them. Its surface was a mosaic of history – scarred by countless domino games, pints of bitter, and the tap-tap-tap of fingers keeping time to the hum of lively music.

The table had been there for it all: an unspoken witness to camaraderie, laughter and quiet moments of reflection. 

We spotted the table one afternoon, tucked into a corner under a pile of beermats. The scent of tobacco and ale seemed to linger in its grain, whispering stories of people who knew that, no matter how the world changed, some things – like this table – were built to last.

Inspired by the rich history and unbreakable spirit of that battered old table, we set to work designing the WMC range of furniture. Each piece in the WMC range is a tribute to the timeless craftsmanship and community of the vintage furniture that you can still sometimes find in traditional northern clubs.

We preserved the warmth of the wood, the quality of the materials, and the sense of belonging that was offered to everyone who pulled up a chair. WMC by SPELK Studio invites a new generation to sit, share and make their own mark. 

The WMC range is crafted from solid European ash with an optional accent of warm linoleum. Natural wood is displayed in its original form or enhanced with colours inspired by the landscape of northern England. Future vintage in the making.
