We traveled halfway around the world in search of timeless pieces with the rich character that only a human hand can give. In a time of mass production, we chose instead this one-of-a-kind tabletop embellished with the unique grooves and lines of Acacia wood. Local artisans in India use techniques that have been passed down for generations to cut and carve its beautiful modern design. The wood top of this large rectangular coffee table is fixed to an industrial-style base. Rustic and refined, this table evokes the movement of the Acacia forests and the skill of contemporary crafters.

Montage was masterfully designed to be an artful blend of comfort and elegance. Inspired by the classic tiles found within the Tuscan region of Italy, Montage serves as the foundation that creates a mélange of luxurious interiors. The cut loop technique creates softened lines that form a ribbon-like trellis pattern that is truly unique.

Handmade in Africa, Kuba cloth is woven from plain raffia. Short raffia strands are inserted one by one under the warps or wefts of plain cloth and cut close to the surface to create variations in designs, textures and colors. The meticulous technique means every Kuba cloth is unique, taking about a month to complete. All Kuba cloths include the custom walnut shadow-box frame, giving it a modern feel. You can choose the Kuba cloth you like best for a look that's one-of-a-kind.

This project started as an attempt to experiment with used redwood. As I started to fabricate the wood structure, features were added with materials that were laying around the studio. One side was a piece of corten with a rough edge. Scrap carbon fiber fabric was epoxied to used galvanized steel sheet. The sheet was corrugated which had to be flattened hence the wavy look. I liked how everything started to take shape and I knew this was turning into something. The carbon fiber side needed an accent so aircraft vent flanges were added and filled with plaster. Rusted chromoly tubing became the front with nice used aluminum trim. On the tail end a technique was tried that I had never used before. This technique is called Bluing. All aluminum trim is hand cut and symbolizes aircraft skin cover plates. As for the name, CRT5 is completely random.

While the Irish are known for being poets and scholars, we're also known for creating warm and welcoming public houses, or pubs, where friends and neighbors can gather over a pint and swap news. This particular pub-style bar was designed and hand crafted for a lovely Irish family's getaway haven on Lake Oconee here in Georgia. For this wonderful installation, we integrated visual cues from the owners' favorite watering holes into the design. Then we applied our famous "driftwood technique" to the rift cut white oak to create the appearance of a time-worn patina. (photo by Noah M. Gallagher)
