Skull Dining Table in Reclaimed Wood, Designed and Handcrafted by Rafael Calvo

About the Item

Rafael designed and handcrafted the Skull Dining Table from the reclaimed 150-year-old Douglas fir beams he salvaged from Manhattan townhomes. Their surfaces are aged with a beautiful golden brown patina; saw marks, nails, bolt holes, and natural wear contribute to the character and aesthetic of reclaimed Douglas fir. Rafael loves to work with these recycled, ancient woods for their handsome appearance, robust stability, and durability. Rafael created this impressive 1 ¼" thick tabletop with these virtues in mind. Gold leaf and airbrush were used for the skull artwork he incorporated into the table. The skull, a symbol of mortality, can evoke powerful emotions and remind people that death is a part of life, the temporary nature of material possessions, and the need to focus on the soul. The base is made of old beams that show the beautiful ancient mortise joint hand techniques. As with all of Rafael's pieces, this is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted, sustainable piece; no two pieces of furniture are the same. Handcrafted in Miami, USA Dimensions: 114" x 55" x 30"H x 1 ¼" thick

  • Fascinasia Dining Table, Handcrafted by Rafael Calvo using Reclaimed Wood
    By Rafael Calvo Studio
    Located in Miami, FL
    The Fascinasia Table was a collaborative work with Canadian artist Daniel Stanford. The artwork incorporated within the table is a unique blend of photography with collage elements and precise application of gold leaf, watercolor, Chinese ink, acrylic paint, raw pigments, and resin. It is based on a 2016 photograph, shot by Daniel, of an award-winning Oldenburg Breed Stallion Jumping Horse named Starmont. Embedded in the painting is a segment of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore. Stanford's use of archival materials reflects the sequence of the five elements - wood, fire, and earth; earth gives birth to gold, gold creates water, and water makes wood. Rafael Calvo designed...
