Occasional Table

“Contrasting Congruence ”

We designed this table to be extremely functional as a sofa or occasional table while maximizing the beauty that these sequenced live edge highly figured maple boards. The interaction, movement of the grain, natural live edge, and vibrant colors of the two boards pose a striking contrast to the stark monochromatic Richlite Black Diamond with its rectilinear angled form and rectilinear negative space elements. Combining real wood with Black Diamond Richlite panels, which are constructed from 100% recycled FSA certified paper, is our way of acknowledging how important trees are to our world and that all forms of their gift to us should be recognized and utilized to its fullest. The combination of the old stock maple and the Black Diamond Richlite used in the construction of the piece is considered to follow LEED Gold or Silver Building Practices, Green Practices, and Best Practices.
