In the Aspens

In the hills above Winter Park is a beautiful home overlooking the aspens. HAVA studios was commissioned to design and make a spalted maple table with copper and bronze resin combining the two live organic edge pieces of wood to create the 102″L x 42″ live edge table top slab in the large open multi-use room surrounded by other arts and crafts. The table is supported by a custom blackened raw steel base. Our team was pleased to also provide the Mid Century modern Kennedy chair replications in solid walnut and black leather. While the table could have endless uses, it certainly could be for a family game night and puzzle time, for hot coco on a ski break in the winter, lavender lemonade after biking, or perhaps for entertaining guests at an elegant dinner party. Whatever its uses, this one-of-a-kind custom made table will be a heirloom treasured for generations.
