The Little Nell Hotel in Aspen, Colorado has gone under a complete transformation in the hands of the acclaimed design firm: Holly Hunt.  Just this winter, Holly Hunt Design completed the makeover of the Little Nell’s living room utilizing luxurious leathers, rich woods and custom-made JOHNHOUSHMAND pieces.

Hunt and her design team updated the 22 year old 5-star hotel with an “Aspen Modern” look, thereby preserving the comfortable lodge feeling yet opening up the space with more streamlined design.  To this eclectic mix, JOHNHOUSHMAND contributed two matching end tables (No. 0229) and a 3-piece coffee table (No. 0228).

No. 0228, the 3-piece black walnut coffee table, is made from a single slab and blackened steel legs. The center table features an open-frame, rectangular base, perfect for storing and displaying books. The two corresponding end tables include a three-plated, Y-shaped base. The asymmetrical nature of these bases allow for flexibility in placement, with no one face being dominant to the others. The slab selected for the top, which includes two prominent knot holes and a desaturated, live edge was chosen for its unique character and rustic appeal.

The base of No. 0228 is echoed in the contemporary design of No. 0229 – two, glass topped, end tables which are mirror reflections of one another. These bases are also Y-shaped, but being made of black walnut, have narrow live edges and beautiful, streaks of natural color variations.

These pieces were designed especially for a project and a place where nature and cutting edge design meet.
