Walnut Trestle Dining Table by Thomas Throop/Black Creek Designs - In Stock

About the Item

The Granero dining table is made from Pennsylvania walnut and features a contemporary trestle structure. It measures 34" x 84" x 29.38"h. The dining table is based on a commissioned sofa table originally designed for a family room in a converted post and beam barn. I wanted the form and structure of the table to relate to the structure on the building's interior. The vast open main room featured a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams and rafters and I was concerned that a delicate table would get lost in the center of the space as it was to be placed behind a free standing sofa. It seemed only natural that I draw on one of my earliest influences, the English arts and crafts movement. The visual language of expressed joinery, stout elements and repeating details would fit perfectly in this environment. The use of corbels and chamfers on this trestle form further serve to invoke the nature of the building and the style of the English arts and arts moment. I did however want to add a contemporary twist by tapering the column an then further accenting them by incorporating long tapered chamfers. This adds some upward visual movement and lightness while still maintaining a strong grounded feeling. Smaller details such as the coved edges of the top and gentle curves on the feet and top rail help soften the overall form just enough to make to approachable and friendly. Each element is selected, shaped, joined and finished so as to create a unified design. This dining table is to be featured in an upcoming issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine. The spread will show show the step by step process of how the table was built. It is an honor to have the article published in the premier magazine on woodworking. The Granero dining table is designed and made at the Black Creek Designs studio in New Canaan, CT by Thomas Throop with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. This listing is a direct sale and a quick response time to all questions is a given.
