Seven Quarters Series
Seven Quarters Series
Named for the measurement discrepancy between raw wood and wood planed to finished dimensions, every piece in this wood-laminate assembly is a 1 5/8” by 1 5/8”—six and a half quarters, true, but Seven Quarters just sounds that much better.
Every piece in this limited-edition collection will be made to order in partnership with Montreal woodworker-designer Gabriel Page. This exclusive producer brings his skill to bear on a design that relies on no mechanical fastener. Every Seven Quarters item is made entirely of innovative design, wood, craftsmanship and a bit of glue.
The hardwood laminate construction is stronger and less prone to warping than big planks or milled boards. The design uses less material and uses it better. All variations in the series—bench, table, and chair—maintain the same proportions. Tabletops and bench seats seem sliver-thin, floating on massive legs—an illusion achieved by intricately engineered joinery. The pieces are sleek in design but structurally stable, balancing delicacy and density in elegant, oiled white oak.
