Reconstituted Dining Table

$5,500

Pieced together from scraps of desktops and table tops salvaged from closed Chicago public schools, this table is at once a functional piece, and a historical document. It serves as an example of other possible pieces that can be reconstituted out of leftover materials from other sources.

    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.
