The Ombré Dining Table is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, meticulously crafted using different joinery techniques to create a seamless gradient pattern from dark to light tones. The table features seven distinct types of wood: MonkeyPod, Teak, Pardillo, Eucalyptus, Apamate, Ash, and Melina. Each wood was carefully selected through an exhaustive search for exotic tropical varieties, resulting in a harmonious blend of textures and shades that celebrate the natural beauty of these species. The legs are a striking double X made from solid Black Pardillo wood, designed with an eccentric flair that blends strength and elegance. This unique base adds a bold architectural element to the piece, enhancing its overall appeal and making it a true statement in any dining space. Handcrafted in Mérida, Venezuela, this table was custom-made for an exclusive client in the nation's capital, Caracas, reflecting a commitment to quality and individuality. Measuring 2.40x1.10x0,76m, the table’s impressive size highlights the detailed craftsmanship involved in blending multiple wood types with precision joinery to achieve its visually stunning gradient effect. Both the tabletop and base are finished with Hard Wax Oil, which not only enhances the rich, natural tones of the woods but also provides a durable, protective layer that ensures the table will stand the test of time. This exquisite piece of furniture is more than just a table; it’s a work of art that combines innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and the finest materials to create a dining experience like no other.
