A Tuscan villa dining set in walnut, marble and brass-colored iron.
I designed for the Tuscan villa interior: earthy tones, and materials like iron, wood, marble and terracotta. I wanted locally sourced materials that flow with that style of home.
Each one has a job, and together they hold the pieces in one family.
Found in Tuscany. It warms the pieces and makes them more approachable.
One of Tuscany’s most famous materials, from walls to sculpture to furniture.
An accent that contrasts with walnut, shows off the marble and ties the set together.
A large table meant to be the center of the household, where people gather to eat and share time. Alternating walnut and marble on the top, with marble legs joined by a walnut beam.
Side, end and plan views, with the brass inlay along the top edge.
Anodized iron framing with a walnut seat and back, split by a marble strip. A frame at the top makes it easy to move. It stays fairly ergonomic and keeps the identity of the table.
Front, side and plan views.
It uses the same marble, walnut and brass-colored iron. The marble base echoes the dining table, and the top is a simpler version of its alternating strips.
End, side and plan views.
The finished pieces, in a warm interior and up close at the table edge, where walnut, marble and brass meet.
A second coffee table: a sculpted metal base meeting a glass top, shown in a living room and up close at the junction.
Early table sketches, walnut and marble strip patterns, and leg and form renders from along the way.
