Each table features a richly grained zebrawood top framed by dark, ebonized wood rails, with warm, golden-toned hardwood structural elements integrated into the corners and extending continuously down the tapered legs.
The distinctive construction is a defining feature of the pair: the contrasting light wood is not applied veneer or decorative inlay, but forms an integral part of the joinery, creating a striking architectural relationship between the dark framework and lighter structural members. Recessed fasteners and carefully fitted corner construction further emphasize the quality and originality of the design.
The highly figured zebrawood displays extraordinary natural variation, with dramatic linear and cathedral-like figuring across each top and perimeter rail. The restrained rectangular form and tapered legs give the tables a refined modernist silhouette, while the exotic wood palette provides considerable visual presence. See less
