We were commissioned to create bedside tables for an elegant bedroom.  Because of the colors of the bedroom, we decided on charred pine & Emperador Marble.

The pine (sustainably sourced from New Zealand) undergoes blow-torching in the Japanese Yaki-sugi technique.  The heat deepens the channels between the grains of the pine, & forces resin to the surface, which acts as a protective layer.  After this, a dark stain is added to create the black finish.  

Please inquire at claudemark@gmail.com should you be interested in custom furniture.  The price on this pair of sidetables was PHP 49,000 per table.
