Wright Inspired Coffee Table
Click on image for larger view
 This
table owes its' beginnings to the designs of Frank
Lloyd Wright. The simple rectilinear shape creates the
foundation for the horizontal and vertical planes that Wright
used as the focal point of his designs. This interpretation
of Wright's design ethic does take some liberties with the original
concept of simple materials and minimal ornamentation. With its'
figured bubinga and curly cherry base and top and ebony trim, this piece
is probably a little more colorful than something that Mr. Wright would
have done. |
 Today's
materials and construction techniques have also allowed this table to,
in
some ways, be superior to furniture constructed in Wright's period.
The top is made of 1/8" thick cherry veneers laminated to a substrate of MDF, which gives the the solidity and durability of solid wood, but
without most of the problems associated with seasonal wood movement.
The base is finished with several coats of hand rubbed oil and the top
has four coats of Nitrocellulose lacquer for beauty and durability. |
