Get ready because the recently launched Fab.com is having a three day blowout sale starting Monday featuring JOHNHOUSHMAND and JH2.
From our No. 0135.1 Black Walnut low table to JH2’s Ursa Dining Table, everything is 30-40% off!
Founded in 2010 by the likes of Bradford Shane Shellhammer, Jason Goldberg, & Ashton Kutcher among others, Fab.com is the leading source for affordable design and daily design inspiration.
Fab.com has featured everything from Kid Robot, to Cassina, to Milton Glaser and we’re excited to add JOHNHOUSHMAND and JH2 to that list.
Here at JOHNHOUSHMAND we’re always looking for new sources of inspiration. This time it’s graphite.
Our No. 0186.2, a live edge white oak dining table, was ebonized with a silver grain filler and hand-rubbed until it emulated the beautiful sheen and tone of graphite.
This one-of-a-kind handworked rub can also be seen in our No. 0220 high bar which was recently produced for a client with a chic home in Acapulco.
Both pieces were interestingly created just in time for back-to-school: we can smell the sharpened pencils here already!
Included designers were hand selected for their embodiment of Audi’s dual goals of technical excellence and unparalleled style. Here is what the curators had to say:
John Houshmand found his muse in Mother Nature; he approaches all of his work allowing the naturally harvested materials he uses to guide the creative process. Before being mounted on black walnut legs, his iconic cast aluminum table was poured with pure aluminum — the same astonishingly strong yet amazingly light ingredient in the frame of the new Audi A8. Like Houshmand’s masterpiece, the Audi ASF® is liberated by a balance of sleek style and lightweight engineering that results in a breathtakingly beautiful yet efficiently sound design.
It was a beautiful evening of hors d’oeuvres and champagne, surrounded by inspiring design items in a gallery setting. Take a look at the slideshow we put together!

One of JOHNHOUSHMAND‘s most recent creations – No. 0201 – a mulberry lazy susan with blackened steel legs is bound for the tropical climates of Acapulco, Mexico. While our pieces are always enviable, we never imaged we would actually be envious of one!
Though it’s hardly surprising this particular dining table is bound for a more luxurious, slower paced life, as the design itself is ideal for lazy Sunday brunches and quiet family dinners. The heavy, circular Mulberry top was put together from five pie cuts of a live-edge slab, giving the impression of a massive 6-foot wide end grain plug. The hidden lazy susan armature was placed in the center with a satin stainless steel disk. This concave area was then filled with an acrylic pour, at which time an additional Mulberry center medallion was affixed.
The curved, blackened steel legs – set into the top asymmetrically, provide a stable but whimsical finish to the piece.
I’m not talking about hate… I’m talking about eight. Dinner at eight! Let’s eat!

Dining tables are a cornerstone of the JOHNHOUSHMAND series. It is where we explore and refine many of our core design concepts, where we test the interaction between materials, and where we debut new developments in an already nuanced collection.
Perhaps this is the case because the dining table is also, in many ways, the cornerstone of the home. It is where we come to eat, to work, to play, and to gather together in celebration with those people closest to us. We believe the elegant yet bold style of our dining tables offers the perfect destination for these varied activities. Simple enough to be inviting, but dynamic enough to draw you in.
This holiday season JOHNHOUSHMAND is offering a DINING TABLE SALE so you can entertain in style, and enjoy those memories for years to come.
