Kevin, the showroom designer with Shaw Living visited this afternoon, to do a final inspectiion of these two custom pieces for their showroom, as well as choose the pieces that'll be on display at the upcoming Atlanta and Las Vegas markets.

This catalog stand with matching vertical slab was a collaboration, and I think we both couldn't be more pleased with the result.  The coloration of this partially rotten oak is mesmerrizing.  I'm going to be looking for more rotten lumber around here - really.

If you will be attending the upcoming Atlanta or Las Vegas markets, be sure to visit the ShawLiving space and let us know how you feel about "rot".

Can't wait to see them again, sitting in their new home in Shaw's beautiful Atlanta showroom next month.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
