Straw Marquetry Cocktail Table, 3 Available

The Process | The rye straw is still grown and dyed in France. Each round stalk is split, flattened, and then burnished onto a substrate coated with a thin layer of glue. Before the glue fully dries, a scalpel and ruler are used to trim the straw, creating a clean edge for the next piece and gradually building the pattern.

The Lumber | The wood used for the legs is sourced from a local urban log recycler that salvages felled trees and processes them into usable lumber.

The Table Design | Three tables are available. One table features a combination of light blue and whisper green straw with spalted maple legs. The spalting is created by burying the maple logs for up to two years before kiln drying the lumber to halt the process. This is done by the lumber supplier.

Another table has whisper green straw and legs made from bleached walnut, with driftwood tones added during the staining process.

The antique gold straw table has walnut legs stained with a water-based aniline dye.

All of the legs are finished with lacquer.

All tables have a small, glass top.
