Missisquoi 01 is a numbered and asymmetrical two part coffee or cocktail table, with a space that divides it as the river divides the Missisquoi Valley. The black ashwood was felled, milled and dried near the studio, and the stone is from the river's banks. The stone and plank that support the two parts form a continuous axis end to end, through the divide. The beauty of the Brutalist natural stone contrasts and converses with the delicate craftsmanship of the wood plateau...

Bringing the serenity of the outdoors into the home, the Shale mirror has a distinct texture carved across the frames surface that seems to reach beyond it's limits. The solid ash surface is scored vertically across the grain, and the drawing of Simon Johns’ textures of a crumbling cliff's facade is delicately carved into it. Patterns within the carving and the wood's grain create optical illusions depending on the lights orientation, making it as striking from afar as from up close. Due to the hand-carved facade...

The hex diamond table’s slight angles focus guests around a middle point that can accommodate a centerpiece. The traditional circular approach to seating guests is deconstructed to encourage more dynamic exchanges between people. The surface plays tribute to the approximate geometries of stones, reminiscent of, but not quite a hexagon. The central base is equally asymmetrical, made up of an assembly of soft rectangular columns of different dimensions, congregating, as do the unique individuals around the table. The base is offered in all oak or oak and aluminum. The aluminum is hand polished to a satin finish, wrapped around and supported by a thick plywood form. This table is perfect for 3-6 people. *Also available in oblong shapes, at 82, 95 and 105" in length. Custom lengths also available upon request. The Diamond collection congregates similar but unique forms into constructions that celebrate subtle differences. There is intent and organization in the results, but also a desire for some freedom from symmetry or rigid guidelines. Composed of different tables and soon a sideboard, this collection uses primarily white oak, either alone, or paired with aluminum, hand polished to a satin finish.
