## About

I’ve always been fascinated by individual pieces of natural material and how each piece differs in character and charm.  This especially rings true with me for wood.

Trees are among the oldest inhabitants of this world.  They have been here for millions of years preparing this place for us, cleaning the air, enriching the soil and providing the complex, perfect mixture of gasses for us to breathe.  We would not be here without trees.

So it is very important to me that when the living spirit of a tree ends, that I take great care in utilizing its form in a way that respectfully reflects and honors the life it provided us.  I tend to spend a lot of time with each matched set of slabs listening to their voice to determine the most practical and beautiful way to create a table with a lasting impression.

I liken people sitting around a table sharing a meal, creating plans, and gathering ideas, to a forest where the trees stand together contributing to each other for generations.  And with this philosophy, I would like to introduce you to VIMANA.

VIMANA is a Seattle based design company that specializes in unique, contemporary, live edge slab and steel table designs that blend form and function with old world craftsmanship. Each piece is hand-built from carefully selected, locally salvaged woods.

Each table is hand built in Ballard, WA where direct access to the tree salvage teams as well as other reclaimed materials from the Seattle area are paramount to the process of creating the finest pieces of functional art of the highest quality that exceeds  expectation.

VIMANA has caught the eyes of some of Seattle and Portland’s top firms in 2013:  Add3, Couch Seattle, Connors &amp; Co. and Wax on Spa to name a few.

But, VIMANA is more than custom tables. VIMANA is a vehicle.  VIMANA is the oldest known word referring to airships, flying carpets, or Chariots of the Gods.  VIMANA is a channel of creative freedom to do all things I desire to do with my art and design concepts.  And like the VIMANAS of the old texts, I am free to go where my spirit and materials lead.

**★★★★★ — Jason Llorin, July 2019**

> Aaron does incredible work! We just had about 10 custom tables built and installed on the back patio of our bar and they look fantastic. The quality of craftsmanship is phenomenal.
>
> Communication was also great.
>
> I would definitely recommend them.

**★ — Reena Ravi Design LLC, Oct. 2018**

> I hired Vimana to make custom nightstands for my project. We met in person to discuss the project, and even visited some places to look at materials. I left a deposit of $1,000 as required by the company. Afterwards, the owner messaged me links to other samples of materials and seemed excited about the project. However, over the next few months, the company failed to respond back to me regarding an actual completion date for the project or to finalize the details. After 2-3 months, I was able to get in touch with the owner who let me know that he was backlogged with projects but would issue me a refund. However, it has been 8 months since he offered to refund the money, and I still have not received my refund despite multiple talks and assurances from him.

**★ — 31E Designs, Sept. 2018**

> My clients hired Aaron to build custom glass shelving earlier this year. He was great in the beginning, communicating with myself and my clients until the first deposit was made. He was slow in updates and we had to ask many times for his progress. Unfortunately, my client gave him another deposit and now he has completely ignored all communication requests from myself, my client and her assistant. I would suggest looking elsewhere for your custom fabrication.

**★★★★★ — ardisr, Dec. 2013**

> I own several products from Vimana. I appreciate the lovely quality and close attention to detail in everything I have seen.
>
> A Roche

**Comment from VIMANA:**

> Thank very much for the kind words.  It is my mission that every piece I create receives the utmost attention to detail.  I am happy you too enjoy that quality.

**★★★★★ — nhenryberends, Nov. 2013**

> Aaron designed a custom steel and sycamore conference table for our office and it's absolutely stunning. Not only does it compliment our office perfectly, his attention to detail and functionality have made this a centerpiece of our workspace. He was able to design the table around a natural split in the wood which he used to create a cable tray that tastefully conceals HDMI, VOIP, and power cables.
>
> At first look, it is an artful steel and wood conference table. At second look, it's wired up for complete office connectivity and is deeply integrated into our office infrastructure.
>
> Aaron's ability to read his materials stands out, and his designs work well because of a deep attention to balance.

**★★★★★ — add3tim, Nov. 2013**

> Aaron has built several pieces for our business, including two large conference tables and two amazing standing-height bench stations that are about 15 feet long. The wood is beautiful, the steel he sources is great, and craftsmanship overall is impeccable.  Spectacular product, and great person to work with!

**★★★★★ — ADU - 4316 Azalea, Nov. 2013**

> Aaron did a great job building custom garden boxes for our house recently. And for one of our clients at work, he designed and built a laser-cut CD box that helped us provide brand deliverables in a very unique and memorable way. Looking forward to working with him again.

  - Description: Live Edge Sycamore and wax treated Angle Iron standing conference table. 96L x 26W x 42H The concept for Connors and Co. was to make a table that was a sort of 'landing pad' for laptops and smart phones with a hidden cable tray running down the center for charging cables. This way, a group can be more free to interact, adjust their point of view and share more easily the contents of their screens instead of being locked in position by chairs.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Butcher Block** *(in Photo Questions)*

You mentioned you had the butcher block made in Ballard.  could you tell me the name of the business?

A: Very nice.  I love the Blue cabinets.  Great color.

**Q: Glass showers** *(in Design Dilemma)*

What is the best product to clean your glass shower?  I have a custom built shower and have been very unlucky on finding something to clean it with!  All I have is spots!

A: Our family had a glass shower for many years.  The trick is to use a small squeegee on the glass after each shower.  Just before or after you dry yourself off.  That really made the cleaning go a lot easier.

**Q: What color(s) to paint my kitchen/living room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I have a high ceiling in my living room and it shares a wall with my kitchen.  I'm wanting to paint the walls but I'm not sure what to do with the high ceilings and the attached wall.  Thanks so much!

A: ...And very rich looking cabinets.  I LOVE the super thick counter tops.  So nice.

**Q: Tableless man needs dining table recommendations** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I recently bought a loft apartment.  Since the apartment isn't very large, a goal of mine was to make sure that most of the furniture was a statement/conversation piece.  2 months ago I bought a rustic table from online, but once it arrived I realized I didn't love it.   Finally last week, I got a divorce from it and sold it to my upstairs neighbor.  Now I have a lot of empty space and a lot of potential.  I'm also willing to change the chandelier.  My favorite piece in the apartment is the steel trunk coffee table  (pictured below) so something that would make me feel the same way would be awesome.
So please give me suggestions; the cooler the better.  
PS - I can fit up to 60 inches if it's rectangular, or 48 if it's round.

A: I too am on a dreamy Lounge Chair hunt.  It seems tough to have a modern cozy chair with out it being too cliche.  I love the Eames chair but....  Still deciding.  I just want to be comfy while I watch my giant reef tank.  I don't have/do TV.

**Q: What make is the contemporary bench? Where to find?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Ameer at Couch is super great to work with.  I highly recommend giving him a visit.

**Q: What is the finish on the concrete?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I love that look too.  The Washington State Convention Center is a great example of board-formed concrete.  Thanks for posting.
