An architectural marvel in living form, this Cocobolo rosewood dining table by Don S. Shoemaker for Señal, Mexico, commands attention as both functional object and sculptural statement. The table’s resolutely modern silhouette—its geometric facets crafted from staved Cocobolo slats—reveals a painterly interplay of deep chocolate tones and fiery grain, each plane aligned to celebrate the wood’s inherent drama. The hexagonal—or subtly offset—top appears as if carved from a single, shifting block, perched atop a dynamic pedestal that seems to defy gravity with its angular geometry and counterbalance. Lovingly restored by in-house artisans, the surface bears a seamless patchwork of rosewood that evokes the finest parquetry, each segment chosen for contrast and continuity. Its pedestal—masterfully hollowed to allow surprising lightness—locks effortlessly into place with an ingenious rail-and-notch system, free of bolts or screws, ensuring both stability and ease of placement. This piece exudes the charisma of mid-century Mexican modernism, where brutalist intensity meets refined craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 96 inches in width by 53½ inches in depth and standing 30¼ inches high, it offers an expansive platform without overpowering space—a stage for grand conversation or quiet majesty. Don S. Shoemaker, born in Nebraska and educated at the Art Institute of Chicago, found his true creative voice only upon settling in Mexico after his honeymoon. There, amid the luminous landscapes of Michoacán, he founded Señal S.A., turning tropical hardwoods into modernist treasures. His Diamond Line and “Z”-shaped forms, constructed in cocobolo and other precious woods, remain a rare and influential chapter in 20th-century design. Wanna be a bond villain in real life? Well here's your chance. Certain pieces just command respect and deserve appreciation for their flawless design. "WTF?" is typically the first thing uttered when people see this on our showroom floor. A literal jaw-droppper, regardless of whether installing as a dining table, desk or conference table. Lovingly restored by our in-house cabinet shop, this cocobolo wood table by Don S. Shoemaker is a rare find. Geometry and brutalism intertwine to form an architectural masterpiece of function and form. Staved slats of offset cocobolo form a brilliant patchwork that covers every visible inch of both the top and bottom sections. The grain and color tones vary in each slat to create a stunning visual contrast throughout. The pedestal and top separate easily without any screws or bolts. The table top has a grid-work of rails underneath that sink into corresponding notches on the base. The base is brilliantly assembled with a hollow interior to keep the weight to a minimum. This massive construction is surprisingly totable, without compromising rigidity or stability. Although we're uncertain on the production quantity, the total number is probably quite minuscule. Tagged with its original label and numbered #6 in several locations. About the designer: Furniture designer Don Shoemaker was born in Nebraska to an affluent family. During the 1930s, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. In the late 1940s, he married and subsequently, on his honeymoon, fell in love with Mexico. He loved the country so much that later in the 1940s, he moved to Mexico with his wife. Shoemaker lived and painted in a town called Santa Maria de Guido, overseeing the City of Morelia in Michoacán. Don and his wife Barbara lived in harmony with nature, growing many rare plants in their greenhouse. Don became inspired by the tropical woods of Mexico and began to manufacture furniture from these precious timbers. What began as a small factory in the late 1950s became known as Señal S.A and grew to where Don employed more than a hundred skilled artisans. Soon he became an important figure in the economic and cultural life of his adopted town. Señal S.A brought new wealth and an economic boost to the town, and Dom was known for his warm and charitable heart. The furniture designed for Señal S.A by Don were modern interpretations of traditional Mexican furnishings. Many of his iconic designs were inspired by traditional Mexican woodwork. The pieces made from Cocobolo, a Mexican rosewood, and other precious woods were highly sought after. The furniture was exported to showrooms in Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and large Mexican cities. His designs were liked very much by wealthy Mexican families...

This majestic Italian marble pedestal table, defined by bold geometry and elemental poise, stands as a sculptural anchor in any refined setting. The design features two robust black-marble pedestals—each crafted with inherent veining that whispers of natural dynamics and geological depth—positioned with tailored flexibility: they can be placed closer together for an intimate feel or spaced apart to create a dramatic, architectural stance. In its versatility, the piece can transform gracefully from dining table to console table, adapting effortlessly to stylistic or spatial needs. A substantial half-inch-thick glass top floats above the pedestals with beveled edges that capture and throw light, casting luminous reflections beneath. The transparency of the glass harmonizes with the solidity of the marble, allowing the interplay of form and weight to remain visible from every angle. The glass’s restraint highlights the pedestals’ sophistication without overwhelming the design narrative. Natural wear is modest—a few gentle nicks at the marble corners—infusing the piece with character rather than diminishing its presence. The marble, polished to a sheen, still resonates with tactile luxury, while the clean transparency of the glass preserves a modernist clarity. This table transcends mere functionality—it is an architectural statement in stone and light, a post-modern interpretation of solidity and transparency. It brings to mind the legacy of pedestal design where form and utility unify seamlessly, though reimagined here with dramatic scale and material opulence. Collectors drawn to sculptural gravitas, material elegance, and flexible design will find this piece irresistible. It stands ready to elevate fine interiors, offering both presence and narrative depth—an investment in ambiance as much as in form. Vintage 1980s black and white Neo Deco dining set. The luxurious black marble pedestal base features striking white veins and fields of mystical taupe-gray. It’s almost as if a thunderstorm was captured in stone. Dynamic white bands streak through the blackness like lighting bolts in a storm darkened sky. The 1980s enjoyed an Art Deco revival which came to be known as “Neo Deco.” This dining set is a prime example of the Neo Deco zeitgeist. The graduating arches on the chair backs emulate The Chrysler Building’s crown… an Art Deco architectural icon. The marble base’s silhouette is also informed by Art Deco architecture. The table has been updated with a newer 48″ diameter round glass top. No worry of stains on these vintage white seats. The previous owner was meticulous. In fact, the chair seats were still covered in the original plastic when we acquired the set. The base itself is a work of art, beautifully exhibiting the tenants of post-modern design. It is both decorative and simple. The designer has arranged slabs of sumptuous black marble in descending size, emanating from the center. This array of slabs cumulatively form a diamond shape when viewed from the top. The dramatic, high-back, chairs have a glossy lacquer finish that captures the same sheen as the stone pedestal table base...

Custom made, one-of-one modern minimalist rosewood dining table, vintage Nineteen-Laties (late 20th Century). This sleek dining table is all about showcasing the exceptional cut of rosewood used to fabricate the table top. Honey and cinnamon colors contrast with deep cherry chocolate hues, giving the grain brilliant appeal. The color and motion in the wood figuring is simply exquisite. No further ornament is needed. The elegant table is supported by four cylindrical legs. This uniform round leg is a much appreciated lark, deviating from the typical pencil turned tapered or even square legs. A Minimalist masterpiece is one that can capture harmony and beauty in a seemingly simple, albeit genius way. Judging by this metric, we’d rate this table a winner. The table is pictured with six chairs but can comfortably seat eight. You may even be able to fit ten guests depending on chair size. The classic table design makes it easy to blend with many styles. It’s a modern table, but we have it paired with Chinoiserie chairs in the picture (the chairs are not included). Consider pairing these with Danish, farmhouse...
