WOOD Design is a blog highlighting designers from 5 continents making tables, seating, storage, and objects from natural wood.
“At WOOD we aim to define & inform upon a new marketplace in which we bring together wood artists who demonstrate core values in design, sourcing of material, quality & diversity in the objects they produce and people looking to explore beautiful, contemporary, made to last furnishings.”
We are pleased to say that JOHNHOUSHMAND‘s No. 0015.4 Black Walnut Low Table/Bench with 3/4″ Bronze Legs was featured on their blog which is filled with fellow designers who embody a conscientious philosophy and an attentive use of wood. No. 0015.4 promotes the inherent beauty of wood in its natural state, lending a bold statement to any interior space.

Elemental and sincere … Now we make furniture. sculpture. architectural work…we design environments, installations, residential, spa, and even retail spaces. At one end of the spectrum it is functional, at the other end it is dreaming. Bringing the future into the present and insisting that it be beautiful, inspiring, and elemental.” Read more here.
