Wooden tables from the archive
The tables from the archive show how purpose, scale, and the character of wood guide the shaping of an everyday object.
The center of everyday life
Proportion that brings the space together
A table must respond to the way it is used, the number of people, and the space around it. That is why even a simple form requires careful calibration.
These tables remain documented as earlier works. The photographs are not an offer of models that can be ordered today.
Continuity
What Has Remained the Same
Tools, processes and the production program have changed. The relationship to the material, the dimensions and responsibility for the finished work has remained the foundation of the work.
- 01
Attention to the Material
Wood requires an understanding of structure, grain direction and purpose. That craft perspective comes before every decision about form.
- 02
The Measure of Space and People
Custom work grows out of the specific space and the way people will use it, not out of a preconceived image.
- 03
Responsibility for the Finished Work
Every preserved frame speaks to the need to carry out the idea carefully, from the first cut to installation.
