Lamp Table
Lamp Table in Figured Maple & Yellow Siris – 2012 The orientation of the legs of this table allows the top to be placed directly against a wall, creating a clean look. The opening near the back allows electrical cords to be elegantly swept beneath the table without clutter or hassle. In designing this piece the orientation of the legs was decided to evoke the image of decay creeping up the table from the ground, as if the table was sitting on the forest floor.

Meet the Maker
Peter Walz
P.T. Walz & Co. Fine Furniture
I am a studio furniture maker, working in modern creative design for discerning consumers. I have had training at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport ME, one of the finest craft schools in the country, and currently have a high end studio in Ithaca, NY where I produce speculative furniture, and commissions. I am skilled in traditional joinery and specialize in Marquetry.
I work in valuable, and hard to find wood from both sawyers and reclaimed dealers and other locations. I seek to drive modern design forward by combining new aesthetic ideas into pieces that are intrinsically functional.
Most of the equipment and hand tools that I produce furniture and woodwork with have been found and restored over the last ten years. I find great pleasure in using machines from the late 1800's and mid 1900's
