Indigo Oak

A familiar material, seen in a different light.

A round white oak top takes on a deeper mood with an indigo finish that allows the grain to remain visible. The open steel base gives the circular top a sculptural foundation.

The piece explores how color can change the presence of wood while preserving the texture that makes it compelling.
