Contemporary Dining Table with Parquetry

     This is definitely a unique table. Our customer was looking for a table to compliment their dining room and sitting room theme. It was filled with precious collections of world travel artifacts with a solar system motif. Another challenge was complimenting the kitchen adjacent from these rooms.

     Dan Zongker met with the customer, and designed this unique table. They had an existing table base, which

resembled the globe and galaxy, made of metal, which they wanted to re-use. It�s a nice piece of art, and we didn�t want to lose the visual. Tying all these entities together was challenging and fun. The table is designed to represent the solar system, or galaxy to say. Inserting a glass center enabled the view of the artistic metal table base, from both the table top and from the sides, giving the table depth and perception. The table pattern itself is called parquetry. Geometric forms brought together in a picturesque scene, representing planets and streaks of shooting stars.

     Dennis Zongker took on the challenge of fabricating the top. The top is made of White Birch, Northern Maple, American Walnut, English Walnut and Black Ebony. Each piece is hand cut to perfection using an old world technique called the window method. The edging around the outer edge of the table, and around the center opening are of solid maple, glued with 1/8" layers and bent around the perimeter of the table. This eliminates unsightly joints and provides the quality Zongkers is known for.

     Combining artwork and craftsmanship, this table is unique and one of a kind. Give us a call today, and we can design that perfect table for your home or office.
