Inspired by the clean, simple lines of Asian architecture, the shape of this striking table was determined first, followed by the pedestal design. Elements that would be found on a Shoji screen were incorporated into the pedestal base. The artist wanted a dark brown to black natural color in the wood, and after much research selected Oregon Black Walnut also know as Claro Walnut. The table top is made from twelve book-matched squares to form three medallions. It's framed with Black Walnut with Ebony inlay. The Walnut Dining Chairs are made from a single log and the seats are upholstered with a pattered micro-fiber fabric. The seat blanks can be switched out to accommodate the decor in your home. The price reflects the materials and specifications of these particular pieces and may vary based on custom dimensions as well as the figure, character and availability of selected woods.
