ARI History Area Table
maple and maple veneers, dyes, steel
leg by Doug Mockett; 26"w x 36"l x 42"h.
I
designed this table/display with Styer and Associates,
a talented design/construction firm outside of Philly. The
black triangular base holds awards, and the large, blonde
oval swivels around on its leg; what function this serves,
I have no idea. One day I'll have to find out. |
 |
Wave End Tables:
mahogany; 25” high x 26” deep
x 26” wide;
I designed these for a living room that had
a custom carpet covered with waves. When you hold them to your
ear you can hear the ocean.

Trollop Tables:
cherry; 12” x 12” x 36” high
(plant stand), 18” wide x 24” long x 24” high
(end tables), 17” high x 24” wide x 48” long
(coffee table);
I designed these tables to make
use of some outstanding 1” cherry. Their fat little legs
gave rise to their name.

Wavy Front Side Table:
Flitch-sawn cherry, padauk,
cocobolo; 17" deep by 24" high x 24" long.
Like its big brother, the buffet,
this piece is part of a set exploring simpler design forms
while featuring really great wood. The idea was to keep everything
from costing an arm and a leg; it almost worked

Cantilevered Table:
figured makore veneers, wenge
veneers and solids, mahogany 24"l x 22"h x 18"w
A peripatetic radiologist who
lives in a silo in Brooklyn owns this, though he bought it when
he was in Omaha. He's a self-confessed handful, but has very
good taste. |
 |
Anne's Side Table:
Walnut, satinwood; 18" wide x
24" long x 24" high.
My cousins asked me to build this
for their sister Anne when she was married. It is simple but
refined.

 |
Temple Table:
Figured maple, cherry, rosewood;
17" high x 28" wide x 48" long.
It's Greek to me:
a playful rendition of classical architecture. |
 |
Gazelle Table:
Walnut, figured maple; 16" wide
x 20" long x 24" high.
This delicate table reminds me
of someone in little slippers standing on their toes. |
 |
Mindy's Hall Table:
Figured maple, cherry; 12" deep
x 32" wide x 36" high (table).
I built this simple entry table
for my sister when she was getting started in life. It is made
more elegant by the cherry stringing on the top, apron, and
legs. |
 |
|
Rocket Hall Table:
Western walnut, wenge, mahogany,
bronzing powders, acrylic paints; 10" wide x 36" high x 48"
long.
This table bridged my rocket
phase with my wierd juxtapostion phase. I liked the contrast
of the very simple lines of the table with the rocket that
seems to have fallen out of the heavens and through the top.

 |
Demilune Table:
Figured cherry veneers and solids,
wenge; 12" deep x 36" high x 46" wide.
This design seeks to capitalize
on its delicate, sensuous legs. |
 |
Catherine's Demilune:
Pommele makore veneers, mahogany,
aluminum; 16" deep x 36" wide x 36" high.
This is a straight forward design
with simple volumes assembled into a pleasing whole. |
 |
Craig's Coffee Table:
Figured red oak; 17" high x 24"
wide x 48" long.
The table's highly figured oak
is set off by the simple lines. Wood of this quality can stand
on its own merit |
 |
|
Tympani Tables:
Ebonized mahogany, figured
maple, cherry; 24" high x 33" round (low table), 30" high
x 36" round (tall table). These
remind me of kettle drums, and hence the name. A 17" high
model would make a nice coffee table.
|
 |
Zig-Zag Tables:
Cherry, walnut; 18" wide x 24"
long x 24" high.
These simple tables are jazzed
up with contrasting feet and an apron that seems to be breaking
apart. It's only an illusion. Really. |
 |
Corner Table:
Pommele makore veneers, alder;
20" deep x 24" high x 24" wide.
These little tables were designed
to fit in the corners of a seating group. The curved taper of
the top cantilevers over the base. |
 |
Mustard Table:
Figured maple, walnut, cherry,
steel, dyes, acrylics; 10" deep x 32" wide x 36" high.
The mustard drip kept breaking
on the first one of these, so I had them turned out of steel.
These are not for households with toddlers. |
 |
|
Orange Slice Table:
Poplar, acrylics; 10" deep
x 32" wide x 36" high;
The decorative paint department
at Holman Studios consists entirely of Paul Molinelli, who
whines mightily whenever he has to paint one of these tables.
I make him do it anyway: some customers insist on faux painting.
