PRODUCT — WAVE
A suspended table top floats above curvilinear forms created by steam bending solid walnut in a sensual, contemporary design.
Using the same two-part mold to steam bend each piece of 3/4" walnut, the strips are then offset from one another and cut to length. The use of one mold reduces material usage and ensures continuity in the waved curves.
