Curved Brooklyn Coffee Table / Bench

$2,500

This one-of-a-kind bench / coffee table features a curved walnut slab top that is over 2" thick and has exceptional 'feather' figure and rich color. The legs accentuate the curves of the top and feature a subtle Chinese 'horse hoof' detail. In addition to the fine proportions and exceptional wood, a main detail of the bench is the exposed joinery where the legs meet the top. The walnut was harvested as 'urban wood' from a residential property in Brooklyn, Wisconsin.

I am an award-winning designer and maker of fine wood furniture. My furniture -- meticulously made by hand -- is inspired by my love of design that features clean lines and harmonious forms. For me, this means Shaker, Scandinavian, and mid-century modern furniture as well as traditional Japanese architecture. While informed by tradition, I do like to incorporate a novel twist on things, whenever possible.

I work primarily with domestic hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, and maple. I use imported exotic woods such as ebony and paduak for details and accents. When making custom furniture, I enjoy the collaborative process that comes from working closely with my clients to refine and improve the design at hand.
