Stuart Chase has launched a beautiful line of Modern Organic Furniture that is handcrafted in his private wood shop in Vermont. This unique furniture is created with materials that come from a collection of woods retrieved from all over the world and the Lake Champlain Valley in Vermont. Reclaimed tree roots and decayed or deceased trees make up the organic elements of his woodwork. The rarity and inconsistency of these multi-dimensional pieces makes organizing and blending the pieces with modern forms a remarkable challenge. The base structures for the modern and linear portions of the pieces are made up of solid wenge, zebrawood, ebony, acrylic and aluminum. All finishes are oil-based for maximum durability, and colored acrylic accents are used at times to fill voids and add sparkle to the pieces. Carving introduces an additional element that provides an area of transition between the modern and organic materials.

Designers Tõnis Kalve and Ahti Grünberg find a fresh new life for reclaimed wood in their series of “Derelict” tables and chairs. The project explores the process of establishing an equilibrium between precision and imperfection by combining industrial-scale production processes with reclaimed worn wood. The imperfect yet highly precise designs are created while carefully considering variation in colors, cracks, differences in material type, and the arrangement of materials.

Designer Nic Parnell‘s work explores methods of finding new value in neglected wood by altering its aesthetic and surface. Nic only works with found or reclaimed wood. He also works alongside tree surgeons to source the necessary branches, which would otherwise simply be shredded. His work satisfies our visual desire to repel geometry and structure while engaging with nature in a newly formed intelligence – one that is engineered for visual and sensory engagement.

Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based artist Parvez Taj takes reclaimed Douglas Fir harvested from old buildings throughout Southern California and turns them into unique eco paintings. Taj hand selects each piece of wood and uses UV curable inks which are non-solvent – an eco friendly substitute to solvent inks – to create his designs which range from recreations of subways maps to nature scenes. The resulting work is one of a kind, low-energy, and 100% made in Southern California.
