It would not be my desire to make a long story about selecting a table so I’ll try to keep it short. But it’s complicated. Initially, you just want a table. Then you start considering the choices; the style, the quality, the colors, fabrics, and then “the cost”. In Asheville, handmade tables are all the shit. There are a lot of makers here. Which makes it really cool. Especially considering that is the direction we chose to take.
I found Gabe through a bit of detective work. I feel as if we are going to get a super cool table, hand made by Gabe and his talented crew.
I met him more than a month ago and quickly decided that he was the one to do the job. He has some wood samples for me to look at this Friday. I am super excited.
Following the concept of excitement, I made some notes and I coined the term “modern tribal” or “tribal modern” Our home is a mix of oriental rugs, Santa Fe and Guatemalan art, with modern furnishings and a growing lean towards modernist.
Here are my notes :
the table is:
Community; – it is Love – it is friendship – it is a compassion – it is a safe place – it is family – and – it is the bond.
