Long Industrial X-Form Dining Table
Made of salvaged old growth, Douglas fir floor joists from a demolished industrial building in Chicago, this dining table will seat up to 12 people. The table is finished with a mixture of oil and poly, covered with wax. As much of the work made by Dilettante Studios, the table was designed and built intuitively, one decision at a time. After the idea of the x-form emerged, the base was established, and support added as needed. Dilettante believes in the surprising beauty of ad hoc, intuitive, responsive design, slowly developed through the process of building.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Dilettante Studios (DS) is a small, full-service design/build studio specializing in hand-crafted furniture, cabinets, carpentry, built-ins, environments, installations and art fabrication, using primarily found, inherited, re-purposed and salvaged materials. We also work with virgin materials when necessary, but do our best to go second-hand whenever possible, as both a principle and an invited opportunity for adaptive design. We hope you will work with us for our expertise as much as our commitments to waste reduction and creativity.
