Ravine Bench by Aderyn Studio

Ravine Bench

Novato-based designers and life partners Phil Vaughn and Chelsea Brown aim to create furniture which can be kept for a lifetime — and handed down — using locally-sourced materials and natural finishes in a soon-to-be solar-powered shop. Hand-made from an elm wood base in Shou Sugi Ban finish, and featuring a hand-carved texture and brass metal banding detail in bronze finish, this bench is a keeper. To the trade at hewnsf.com.

 

Tide by Mia Cullin for FilzFelt

Tide Filz Felt

Inspired by the water surrounding her home in Stockholm, Mia Cullin brings the ocean waves inside. Tide playfully divides space, while softening sound. Made from wool felt — a durable, inherently flame retardant fabric with thermal and acoustic properties, made from renewable and 100% biodegradable natural animal fibers whose origins date back thousands of years — these panels can be hung in continuous rows or stacked.

Rocky Tabloa Side Table by Tronk Design

Rocky Tabloa

Whether solo or grouped, this piece takes centerstage as an imaginatively-named, visually appealing study of contrasts.

Uni Side Table by Jamie Young Co.

Uni Side Table

Designed by the California-based couple, Jamie Young Jeter and David Jeter — whose inspiration comes from their love of “art, architecture and adventure” — this eye-catching piece is artisan-crafted of fiberglas and hand-finished in India. Retails for $552 at jamieyoung.com.

IOI Table by GamFratesi

IOI Table

Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi reimagine their geometric Art Deco piece with the warm tactility of a rounded edge top made from travertine in rippled beige, sourced in Italy. The structure of the table legs — twin metal tubes connected a sphere of brass — render the letters I-O-I three-dimensionally. Available as a side table (shown) or a coffee table starting at $1,299 at gubi.com or dwr.com.

Willy Faux Travertine Coffee Table by Leanne Ford

Willy Table

Elegantly earthy, this coffee table combines the beauty of flawlessly-replicated travertine markings with brawn of FSC®-certified engineered wood substrate from responsibly managed forests and non-porous, lightweight resin. Retails for $1,299 at Crate & Barrel.

Black Mamba Coffee Table by OSO Creations

Black Mamba Table

 

Like its serpentine namesake, this striking piece is not as it appears on the surface: cast in blackened concrete, the table top is cast into a wooden mold, giving the concrete a heavily wood-grained texture. The truncated conical base is also cast in a blackened concrete taken to a high polish. Hand-crafted in Brooklyn by sculptor Eric Weil and his team. To the trade at hewnsf.com.
