woodland chic

john houshmand creates a decadent table.....by blending timeless hardwoods with modern elements of glass, bronze and steel. not ony is he an artistic and fine carpenter, but he is a man of many talents who recently launched a tribeca showroom showcasing an sensational line of organic furniture. re created if you will, from slabs of american hardwoods sometimes fashioned with glass and steel. his process is plain and simple, he and his team are dedicated and hand-pick various woods from his very own 800 acre upstate new york farm. now and then, he hand picks from trees that have bit the bullet from a storm and welcome all that the wood has become, worms, broken bark and all. his designs radiate a graceful yet organic style and are handmade on his own farm. considering your purchase in more like an investment in a celebration of fine furniture and though these masterpieces may seem dear in price - they are worthy of their fine craftsmanship and organic beauty. tables $6000.00 US and dining tables can fare upwards of $18 000.00 US. these guys love trees. and their website is way cool, check them out. [yes, them - of course he has a fabulous team behind him and each member is unique in their own way].
