studio moe: reclaimed designtags: bedroom, kitchen/dining, livingroom, office
It’s always nice to feel good about anything you buy; it can be said that Andrew Moe’s furniture engenders good feelings twice over with not only style but environmentally sound production practices. Reclaimed lumber is the Moe Design Studio’s medium of choice, and as such no two pieces are ever alike.
Above: The Olathe series of tables is perched upon tapered, insect-like legs and can be topped with glass, wood or even stone. The top table is made from hickory, while the bottom is made from oak–both from reclaimed sources.
The Ames and Musashi are solid and imposing Coffee Tables with fundamentally different design approaches; Musashi is clearly more asian- inspired with a cantilevered oak top, while the Ames is minimal and modern. Musashi actually utilizes two pieces of steel to support its “roof”, whose ends are purposely exposed at the top of each leg. The Ames utilizes more traditional dovetail joinery to produce an essentially seamless transition from the sides to the top.
The zebra-like Chama is composed of several different species of wood to give it a unique striped look. The example above is made from soft maple and spruce, with a contrast not only between colors but textures (smooth vs. rough). At just over 1 1/2 feet in height, Chama is suitable as a short end table, stool, or plant stand.
Ridgeway looks a bit like it was sculpted from a single and unbroken piece of wood. In reality the white-washed finish nearly obscures the transition between the legs and the bottom of the seat. I like the overall shape of the piece - sharply tapered legs and an uneven top give Ridgeway a playful, handcrafted look with just a touch of modern.
The city of Mancos is located in the extreme southwestern corner of Colorado, and is rich with farming, timber and mining industries. The Mancos bed is somewhat of a testament to a predominantly outdoor culture with a rustic, un finished red oak frame. I say somewhat, in that the bed is also clearly contemporary in shape, if not in texture.
The elegant Ophir desk and chair combo is made from rich ash wood with gorgeous, sweeping legwork on both pieces. This collection is my favorite, as it balances both minimalist aesthetics with just enough flair to make a statement. For more information on the Ophir and other pieces by Andrew, feel free to visit the Moe Design studio. Note: although his work is mostly made to order, some of his tables are also available at Vivavi.

sarah finntags: kitchen/dining, lighting
Sarah Finn is a German designer who specializes in working amazingly intricate patterns into wood. Although originally apprenticed as a furniture maker, her primary focus now is on tableware and lighting. Above: Olion and Drachenbaum are olive wood pendant, wall and table lamps with beautiful laser-cut patterns. In the case of Olion the patterns furniture designe to life when turned on but disappear when turned off, while Drachenbaum features detailed floral patterns around the fringe.
“Light and living” is how Sarah prefaces the product section of her website; although the “light” likely refers to the Olion lamps featured above, it’s also an appropriate description for her tableware. Above: lightly- colored solid oak, elm and maple trivets and bowls each feature successively smaller concentric pieces speak to a simpler way of living.
Although probably the least glamorous of table accessories, Sarah gives the coaster and candle holders their fair dues. A coral-shaped version (coaster, candleholder) features furniture designplex and furniture designwork of branches and is fairly sturdy despite its fragile appearance, while a more conservative variant consists of internal laser-cutouts on stained maple.

Even napkin rings and placemats get the royal treatment: the napkin rings feature stars and s-cut incisions and small tabs to lock them in place and can be easily flattened for storage, while amazingly detailed floral Beverly Hills: Edge / Leather Sofa Setswork on wood veneer placemats embellish meals like never before.

Midcentury Roundup: Milo Baughman Occasional Table
I find the combination between the legs and table top interesting on this midcentury furniture piece designed by Milo Baughman. The table top is clean walnut veneer and appears as though it could adorn many styles of furniture. The metal base creates an entirely different effect than the table top and speaks of the influence of modern design. The tight-nit metal pattern reminds me of architecture as something that may appear as part of a building structure. This Occasional table was made by Thayer Coggin who had a long association with Milo Baughman. This would be a wonderful find in a resale shop today in the neighborhood of $1,100-$1,500.
