Keating Woodworks

I am loving everything about Keating Woodworks, from his craftsmanship and attention to detail, to his tag-line “Made in the mid-west with my own bare hands”. Geoffrey Keating is a fifth-generation furniture maker, his grandfathers built churches and monasteries throughout the southwestern United States. Geoffrey worked as a roofer in Texas and a mechanic for a professional racing team before getting his graduate degrees in theology from Yale and Notre Dame. Then he decided to do what his ancestors have done and work with wood. His goal is to create furniture that is “as beautiful as it is useful.” I think he has done just that. Shake it Geoffrey.

Pixel Table by Studio Intussen

The bamboo Pixel Table by Studio Intussen looks like tons of fun. It’s a table but also a versatile cupboard; you can place something in it, and on the other side the sticks that the table is made of, come out. When you want a change, push it together and it will form a cube once again. It adjusts itself to the content of your choosing! Studio Intussen was founded in 2006 by Tessa Kuyvenhoven after she graduated as interior architect from the Royal Academy of Arts. Shake it Tessa.

Wryneck

The Wryneck table is designed by Pool, a Paris-based studio headed by Léa Padovani & Sébastien Kieffer. Made from a mix of digitally cut walnut and cork, its low squat profile is accented by a gently tapering beveled base. In designer’s words, “Borrowed from the forest, the trunk “Wryneck” uses both the craftsmanship of the veneer and industrial technology of the digital cutting to find its place in a domestic space,without renouncing its original state.” I say good wood. Shake it.
