“The details are not the details. They make the design.” Charles Eames
The details here are few but powerful: the sculptural finger joints that hold the pine frame together, the textured surface of the slate top, the contrast between the wood and the stone. This generously proportioned table is as well-made and as heavy as it looks, a dramatic foil for books, ceramics, or the right anatomical model.
