Demilune Tables

I loved demilune tables from the moment that I discovered them. I mean..they're simply genius. I imagine a stylish housewife sometime in the 16th or 17 century was placing her final touches on the foyer in her home and struggled to fit a small table in the typically narrow foyer. Just as she was giving up on squishing the table against the wall, her husband and son come home from fox-hunting. As they saunter through the hallway, her husband notices her dilemma- she wants to place a few inviting items and family mementos on display to welcome guests into the foyer, but she doesn't want to eat up all the space. After all, she must leave room for the hubby to drag in supper....anyway, hubby comes to the rescue like a knight in shining armor and gently asks her to step aside. Grabbing his chainsaw, he saws the hallway table in half as she watches, first in horror, and then with a twinkle in her eye..

The Demilune Table is born.

Believe it- this is a demilune table- and it goes to show that there is always room for creativity. Always. "The tabletop is a sustainably-harvested Ambaya burl, the base a natural section of the tree trunk, and the apron carved from a solid block of mahogany"-APT THERAPY
