Teak Coffee Table

The Teak and Glass Coffee Table Completed
The client wished for a "minimalist" design coffee table in Frank Lloyd Wright style. Her home is a genuine Frank Lloyd Wright style designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The home is remarkable, with beautiful teak wood and stone details and lots of windows. The design of the coffee table mimics aspects of the home's architecture. The two vertical support legs with a cross membrane are a feature seen in the windows throughout the home. Also, none of the home's windows are divided in the center, always offset in some fashion. The legs of this table use the same offset placement concept.

We worked on a simple design. Simple designs when successful appear simple. Accomplishing such is not simple. We played with quite a few ideas and sketched out some ideas until modifications made us both happy. The end product does look quite simple and just plain "fits" the home. Some extra effort and hidden techniques lead to the end product satisfying the "simple" Frank Lloyd Wright style. If all those details are interesting to you, read the "whole story".

After this project was completed, the client came up with another piece of furniture she wanted. A Teak Library Table. Well, that turned out beautiful also, click here to see it.
