Parablola Hall Table
Each of the two Walnut elements of the Parabola Display Table is one continuous piece of wood. Each piece start as a fairly small piece of wood, which I carefully cut from several directions. I then heat them with steam and quickly bend and expand them to their final shape before they cool. After they dry, they hold their new shapes, and are stiffened with the continuous pieces of laminated Walnut and Cherry spacers, sanded and given a durable oil finish. The glass top can be made in a variety of shapes and edge treatments.

Seth Rolland Custom Furniture
Functional furniture is everywhere. What I strive for in my furniture and what I admire in that of others are pieces which can be sculptures. Animated, balanced, interesting forms enhanced by color and grain. Beautiful, natural materials used in innovative or unexpected ways. Forms which are most of all beautiful, and yes, also very functional.

Nov 12, 2019It has been a pleasure working with Seth on my Clearwater Coffee Table. Seth has been friendly, cooperative, professional and the whole experience has been delightfully positive. He communicated regularly during the process and made sure I knew what was happening. He was very willing to work with me to make sure I got what I wanted, and it is beautiful. The simplicity of the design requires a flawless execution and finish, and it is everything I hoped. Shipping long distances is always a risk, but Seth packaged the table base so well there is no way it could have been damaged. I would highly recommend working with Seth, and I would do it again with no reservations. The value is a personal judgement. The table was expensive, but it is unique and that is hard to put a value on. I have searched for a long time for the perfect table, and for me, it was worth it.

Jan 8, 2013Wow! What a beautiful table! It is the new centerpiece of our home and we touch and admire it every day. We have had a few pieces of custom furniture made for us over the years, but this was the best, clearest and most fun process yet. Thank you Seth, we will be contacting you when we are ready for our next piece!
