When we say custom we really mean it. Slab selection is a unique process at JOHNHOUSHMAND in order to give our customers truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
It begins after the client picks one of the over 200 pieces in our product portfolio. One of our awesome salespeople then discusses specifics such as wood species and dimensions for the piece. Once the salesperson receives the client’s specs he/she then talks to Jim, our production manager at our 950-acre facility. Jim will then go to our abundant library of slabs searching for the top four slabs that best match the client’s criteria. The client chooses from these four slabs and we can begin producing a distinctive piece suited just for them. Here are some photos of slab selection process for one of our No. 0187.1 Shazam low tables for a client.
Visitors are welcome to come by the shop to take a look around anytime. It is quite the operation and allows us to control each detail of a project. Plus, it gives our clients the opportunity to be creative and conjure up work that is like no other in our style. If by chance you find yourself in upstate New York one day, just let us know and we will give you a tour!
Just in time for spring, JOHNHOUSHMAND has refreshed a design favorite: the No. 0187 Shazam Low Table. Most often seen in Black Walnut, this beautiful glass box has been rejuvenated with a lighter touch – a luminous microslab of Spalted Maple.
While the Black Walnut microslab mimics rich leather, the Spalted Maple resembles fine marble, but no matter what your taste this Shazam Low Table is sure to make a statement.
At the end of last year, JOHNHOUSHMAND‘s No. 0187 Shazam low table gained acclaim in the design community earning the esteemed Interior Design Magazine’s Best of the Year, residential furnishings award. And now, another Shazam low table has found its way into a beautiful Aspen home.
This striking table is the perfect blend of fluidity and structure, femininity and masculinity. The cutting edge design works well in numerous settings while still very much remaining a focal, conversation piece. The striking rings and grains of the rich black walnut microslab are highlighted against the sleek starfire glass box.
We’re excited to see where the Shazam table ends up next!
