WAGA table

A table exploring the idea of contrast and harmony

The dovetail form is often seen as emblematic of precision, high craft, and refinement. This is contrasted with the hand-carved fluted surface; irregular, organic, and associated with vernacular and folk craft.

The name and texture are derivative of Wagatani style carved trays, both decorative and functional, the carving provides a tactile surface and somewhere to place drinks without concern of marring a perfect surface.
