north | west bench
from urban salvage live edge maple and custom steel

Adrienne and I talk a lot thru respirators with our headphones on - barking like astronauts. About tiny tectonic moments in the life of an emerging tabletop.

This type of dusty, shouty design charette resulted in the north | west table. Which can work as a bench and coffee table as well. We spun one of the legs 90 degrees. It made sense. We were responding to the assymetries in the wood. Somehow we got there. Two cardinal directions contained in the legs. North and west. Transporting us from object to place.

DESIGN | CRAFT
birdloft prides itself on its exceptional craft and clarity of design. Every piece is made with meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of how wood moves and breathes

MATERIALS

Sourced steel is estimated at 89.5% recycled content, about three times the recycled content of most commercially available steel.

BIRDLOFT ETHOS OF GREEN
All birdloft reclaimed materials are sustainably harvested in a big-hearted, biodiesel-breathing compact pickup truck. This is just one aspect of our ongoing efforts to be responsibly awesome.

FINISH
Legs are factory black steel plate finished with clear matte enamel. Wood is finished with a foodgrade varnish oil and topcoat of beeswax.

VARIABILITY
Wood tone and shape will vary with each piece of furniture. Please email/convo for wood species availability and for photos of unfinished wood ready to be worked thru to finish.
