Inspiration

Structural timbers are a common material which so much of our built environment is made of. The thought of creating a durable line furniture from this material was immensely interesting for me, simply because I appreciate the solid simplicity of it all. I have always been inspired by the way in which solid timbers have been crafted within traditional architecture, such as the roofing solutions of Victorian train stations.

It took a while to create a finished product which thoroughly fulfilled my expectations both in terms of stability and appearance. In order to have a very solid table top this product needed to have the most sturdiest of frameworks. I have always admired the honest appearance of woodwork benches and the sturdy nature of farmhouse tables and this line of furniture is very much a fusion of the two. 

Description

This piece has been created using a combination of manufacturing techniques. The legs are jointed together using a traditional dowelled butt joint technique and the legs and framework are assembled together with four sturdy carpentry lag bolt screws. It is available in a range of calming homely colours ranging from dark green, to antique black and Swedish red, all finished with a matt gloss varnish.
