An angular composition, designed by Alain van Havre, forms the heart of a design that aims to distance itself from traditional static and immobile surfaces. By perfectly aligning multiple angles, a unique sense of volume is created. When we then add light to the equation, the multi-faceted oak canvas creates even more depth by casting shadows.

• Creates a sculptural centerpiece
• Forms a non-traditional separation or divide in a room
• Wood pieces are unique and may come with natural variations
• Desired characteristics are drawn out by the type of cut known as "Quarter-Sawn"
• Resists cupping, twisting, warping, and moisture penetration
• Enhanced beauty due to light and shade variations

*Please note that wood pieces are unique and may come with natural variations. All in all, the natural characteristics are called “Medullary Rays” as they are the unique cellular structures found in solid wood (especially in White Oak.) These desired characteristics are drawn out by the type of cut which is known as “Quarter-Sawn.” This type of cut is revered for its beauty, strength, and prevention of warping. However, other factors including light and shade variations will also enhance the beauty. Despite that, quarter-sawn oak is “a more structurally sound hardwood than flat-sawn oak. It resists cupping, twisting, warping, moisture penetration, and raised grain. One of the most sought-after features of quarter-sawn white and red oak is the flecks and the rays that appear on the face of the boards as a result cutting along the growth rings.”
