Hugo Table
DIMENSIONS: 54"L x 18"D x 30"H
MATERIALS: Albizia
DETAILS: This table is designed by India Foster and built from reclaimed albizia. The solid wood pieces are held together with blind butterfly joints. This traditional technique is extremely durable and uses no metal hardware, only time honored woodworking skills. The table is made in Miami by a master craftsman. Albizia is a tropical hardwood species with a rich contrasting grain. It is invasive in South Florida and the trees are being removed in an effort to restore native ecosystems. The timber is milled locally in South Florida and cured for several years before it is ready for use. The design gives a nod to Jean Michel Frank’s classic console table.
