Glass Rivers And Lakes Flow Across Beautiful Tables By Furniture Maker Greg Klassen

ADVERTISEMENT

Talented Washington-based artist and furniture-maker Greg Klassen’s beautiful river- and lake-like desks and tables straddle the line between furniture and art.

Due to his relationship with a local sawmill, Klassen has access to pieces of raw wood, which means that he can make use of its natural forms and beautiful imperfections for his creative furniture. These organic forms lend natural power to the “rivers” and “lakes” on his tables, which are completed with custom-cut panes of glass and look much like features on a topographical map.

    I saw a similar table with concrete insert instead of glass. And it looked ugly. Anyway, looking for pricing of the one by Ben Mann listed here - http://www.homecrux.com/15-unique-river-tables/71673/

    Greg Klassen is great artist and I follow him for a while now. He has a lot of imitators but it's easy to find out what is original work!
