Designer's Notes

Nature speaks volumes as you are invited to pull up a chair by the fire in this reclaimed-timber framed lodge in Asheville, North Carolina. The pure beauty of the wood itself needs no further explanation; the organic feel of the room is punctuated by the simplicity and heritage of this dining set. I chose to let the character of the natural elements be the spotlight. It is hard to argue with creation. You can almost smell the fallen leaves and the mountain air outside.
