Tableau Materiaux: Table and materials
The material in table-making is highly linked to expert crafts and time period. Often limited by scarcity or redundancy, neglecting design/designer, it remains the sheer surface and touch of the material that makes us fall in love with a piece.
“Rawness and refinement are not opposite ends of a luxurious spectrum. They are two complementary features with which to populate a luxe environment.”
