24″w x 40″l x 14″h

mahogany and wenge

This coffee table design is a blend of styles; art deco, arts and crafts, and a bit of Asian influence. The design process started with hand sketches and then was finalized in a 3D CAD program. A critical element in this design was finding the right balance and blending of the woods’ contrast of color, tone and grain. The use of wenge and mahogany in this piece serve to add strength and crispness to the design.

A couple construction details: The top is attached to the legs via mortise and tenon bridal joints and the bottom base trim consists of 20 pieces with 40 individually cut joints.

60″ diameter, 108″ expanded

walnut

The sculpted round table skirts flow into each other to form the legs and create a subtle elegance. The sinuous leg curves are echoed in the gentle shaping of the chair legs and seat. The table expands 50 inches via hand made hard maple sliders and brass alignment pins. The upholstered contoured seat of this chair was designed for comfort, and the curved laminated back slats offer excellent lower back support and are fitted into loose slots for flexibility. In keeping with the fluid design of the set, the unique leg-to-seat joints are sculpted into each other.

Swiss pearwood, jarrah

wenge and bubinga

A folding table designed to serve as a hall table and occasional dining table. When folded over, the top slides back and the flat, hinged center fits against a wall to function as a hall table. The top can be easily folded open and slid to the center of the base and used as a dining table. Designed for an apartment dwelling client with limited space.
