Ross Didier’s new work is fabricated from solid, American oak. The finished form features unique oak staves, while the solid block-joined top surface has been carved and dished into a comfortable seat or holding table that reveals the beautiful character of end grain.

Dimensions – [ 460w x 380d x 460h mm ]
