I have absolutely no idea why this particular retailer has a price of $870.00 on this table when other places have it at $1,495.00. Is it a mistake? Am I missing something like a defect listed or a floor model sale?

Featuring distinctive L-shaped legs and a warm European oak grain, the Corner Block Dining Table defines sleek design and solid construction. With its generous size and clean lines, it looks great in any contemporary dining space.

These are so inexpensive…I wonder if the quality is not so great? I guess you could afford to take the chance at $40.

So, apparently harvesting Sugi trees in Japan is good for the environment (because they are becoming too plentiful) but not many designers will work with the wood because it’s overly soft and gnarly. So, Mr. Enzo Mari stepped up to the plate and designed the very nice (and expensive) Giulie collection to help with the problem. To read more, here’s an article from MetropolisMag.com entitled ‘No Love For Sugi’.

Hida Sangyo was founded in 1920 and is one of the leading wooden furniture makers of Japan, based in the Takayama region. This part of Japan is known for its excellent wood craftsmanship, originating back to the 7th Century Nara period. This collection is made predominately of the beautiful Japanese sugi wood, realized with state-of-the-art industrial technology of wood compression.

Designed by Enzo Mari.

Check out this incredibly cool table collection by Arik Levy. It reminds me of Knoll’s PaperClip table, except I think I like these more for their punch-me-in-the-face colors.

Whoa, this is a pretty good deal: two side tables that nest together or show off a nice faceted side when standing apart.

Unique interlocking tables form a single rectangular shape or can be used as two separate side tables. Wood construction with a durable sungkai wood veneer, smoothly textured and beautifully grained.

Dimensions are for each piece (not two pieces together): 12″sq x 20″h

These very hefty side tables (or stool, as is the case of the one on the right) have a slightly heftier price tag than I initially had hoped for, but they sure are interesting pieces.

So if you live inside the EU, these trestles are pretty reasonably priced (not to mention very cool)…but don’t get your heart set on them if you’re in the US, because then shipping makes it twice as expensive.

“The trestle Sinus consists of not more than one piece of steel tube.
Sinus is thereby stackable and with its merely three legs sees to a lot of legroom under the table.”

Sinus is available in the colours: Black, White, Blood Orange and Chrome.

Hello, little tables. I love your black and silver finishes.

Just the touch of texture: a pair of distinct notches in the base of this round contemporary side table add loads of visual interest to any room in which you place it. If that place just happens to be a wall in a contrasting color, you’ll be delighted at the way it silhouettes against the negative space like your own mini Rorschach Test.

Urban Hardwoods has such a wide variety of beautiful pieces, all handmade from salvaged wood in Seattle. I found them while drooling over a coffee table (lower right), and I’d recommend taking a look through their collection if you’re fond of modern wood pieces.
And, for you lucky San Francisco residents, they’re opening up a new showroom in March.

“Our goal is fairly straightforward — to be the most progressive, responsible and sustainable wood furniture manufacturer/retailer in America…With every piece we craft, we respect the natural character and imperfections of the tree we use. We let the natural shapes, holes, curves and “live edges” of the tree remain. Our craftsmen work to preserve the tree that once was — and the work-of-art that will be.” -Urban Hardwoods
