Box Table, by Martin Davis

Description

From exposed traditional joinery to strong geometric form, this Australian contemporary furniture maker has considered every angle to create this singular Jarrah wood table. It takes confidence in your craft to display the assembly of your work on the outside. For Martin Davis, it’s his trademark – his furniture spotlights the corners and joints. The extremely hard wood used to create the Box Table was hand chosen to endure for generations. The exotic Jarrah used in the table, found only in the southwest region of Australia, and the conspicuous Victorian Ash finger joints (chosen for their contrasting colours and incredible strength) have both been reclaimed from old objects. The two boxes comprising the table top are “stitched” together in a whimsical, questioning, and celebratory reference to craft. The structure of the table and the rigidity of the boxes are intended to highlight the phenomenal strength of the native Australian timbers.
