The Nita Lake Console Table features a robust, solid wood beam top, which can be crafted from domestic hardwoods like walnut and elm, or from softwoods like fir. The significant thickness and mass of the wood beam make it a commanding focal point. When sourced as fir, the timber can be treated to achieve a desired patina, either through distressing and aging processes or by selecting and preparing reclaimed fir to emphasize its natural weathering, saw marks, and grain depth. This rustic wood beam, regardless of the species or patina, is supported by a minimalist base of four clean-lined, architectural metal legs (options include steel, or powder-coated aluminum), creating a powerful contrast between the natural, substantial wood and the refined, urban metal.
