This sculptural coffee table is made from 100% reclaimed materials. It was commissioned for an amazing new eco-friendly art and furnishings boutique in Laguna Beach called Green Cube on Forest Avenue. It will be available there as part of their opening collection.
This piece was commissioned yesterday and has been coming to life ever since. Just wait until you see the final piece of the puzzle come together.....
The creation of Fine Art always involves the talent and essence of the Artist. When creating a commissioned work of art that will inhabit a specific commercial or residential domain, an Artist is challenged with a creative puzzle. It involves a bringing together of a multitude of elements, including deciphering the needs of a specific space and sensitively reading the personality, ideas and dreams of a patron.

Another completed project leaves the studio. The next photos of this set will be installed in the home.
It is hard to capture the depth of the paint on Aaron's newest piece. This sculptural table combines a rustic texture with modern form and uses a deep graphite paint to pull all the subtleties together. I shot this piece this morning while being moved out of the studio. As the sun hit it, the textures of the wood seemed to melt together...

Here is a shot of Aaron while he takes a brief rest on Sunday while creating the custom blacksmithed base for this 1300lb piece of petrified wood. Aaron's dog Zeus watches enthusiastically.
We put the same meticulous effort into every piece we make. Here, Aaron adds gold detail to the frame of a Deconstructed Louis Chair.
