PROJECT #2107_
Skill Level
Intermediate
Time: 5 days
Cost: $350
One of the unique features of this table is its ability to be disassembled and tucked away. It's also very scalable. If the surface area (or lack thereof) is an issue, create a larger top and increase the length of the stretcher.
The inspiration for this project originated during a recent trip I took to visit my brother in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The activity list for such occasion typically includes a stop at the Milwaukee Art Museum, catching a show at the Oriental Theatre, and some social imbibing down by the lakefront. It wasn’t until recently (after partaking in the latter of the activities listed above) that I discovered an old palatial estate on a bluff that overlooked Lake Michigan. To my surprise, it turned out to be a place called “Villa Terrace,” a decorative-arts museum that was once a private residence belonging to a couple named Lloyd and Agnes Smith at the beginning of the 20th century. Known as Sopra Mare (“above the sea” in Italian) to the Smiths, this resplendent piece of architecture is extraordinary beyond description.
