Thomas Saydah Large Walnut and Glass Coffee Table, Signed and Dated, 1982

About the Item

A large and very handsome 1982 walnut coffee with inset glass multi-pane top by Ashland, Oregon artist, woodworker, and furniture designer Thomas Saydah. Hand-sculpted solid walnut frame with gorgeous grain and graceful cabriole legs. Window-like top comprised of six W 17.13 in. x D 14.63 in. inset glass panes. Inscribed “T.H. Saydah”, dated “5-82”, and numbered “#1” on underside in the artist’s hand. As Saydah is known for specializing in high quality custom furniture design and fabrication for individual clients, it’s probable that this is a one-of-a-kind piece made early in his career, with him having started his business in 1980. From Saydah’s LinkedIn “About” section: “At a very young age I began making things. From forts to knives to go carts to rebuilding bicycles and engines, my hands on approach to design and problem solving naturally evolved to furniture building and repair. From my early environmental roots in the mid 70s it has always been important to me to ruse what I have and to try to improve upon what I know, hence my passion for building upon my design experience through experimentation and refinement. I bring almost 40 years of building experience to every new challenge.”

Sculptural Walnut and Glass Coffee Table by Thomas Throop/ Black Creek Designs
By Black Creek Designs LLC
Located in New Canaan, CT
The Laguna coffee shown here in walnut and glass can be made in custom sizes, shapes and various woods and finishes. The same design details apply to all possible variations. Popular glass top shapes are oval, rectangular, square and round. The Laguna series tables are some of my favorite and most challenging to build. Each base is unique as the process and resulting form is ultimately sculptural. The 1/2" thick tempered glass top is supported by a base made of walnut consisting of tapering arcs of varying size which intersect to form a dynamic structure. The series works well with almost any shaped top be it glass, stone or solid wood. The Laguna series of tables makes the ultimate sculptural statement in any setting. Each table base is unique comprising of a number of tapered arcs joined to create a structure with endless visual possibilities. All the elements are shaped, joined and finished by hand so as to create a united design. Each Laguna table is designed and made at the Black Creek Designs studio in New Canaan, CT by Thomas Throop...
