THE AVATAR TREE AS FURNITURE!
The Associates Studio has designed its first piece of furniture using a slab from The Avatar Tree!
(See previous post).
Once we realized that this magnificent live oak had to come down, we were committed to creating useful and sculptural furniture that would honor this tree's grand history. Here is the design for a rolling ottoman which will soon be "planted" in the home of one of our clients. Our friend, craftsman Doug Jewell, is sanding it down after a lengthy drying process.
Next week the center void will be filled with molten stainless steel and the caster legs will be ordered. Of course we'll add photos every step of the way.
