👀 Looking through the surface of our Assemblage Dining Table. This series begins with hard maple slats with very precisely cut angled edges. Three slats are then glued together to create long triangular tubes. For the dining table shown, the tubes are glued together side by side in a single linear row to create the large table surface and six tubes in a radial pattern to create the large hexagonal legs. #qualitiesofmaterial #fortstandard #assemblagewood #woodworking #wood #geometric

Assemblage Dining Table and Assemblage Bench in hard maple. Despite their hollow construction, this is a deceivingly heavyweight collection as the triangular tubular construction makes these pieces practically indestructible.

Often overshadowed by its larger counterparts, the Single Door Relief Stone Cabinet is available in different types of stone and makes for a great side table or bedside table. 📷 @robinstein #fortstandard #qualitiesofmaterial #reliefstonecabinet

The white marble veining seen here (zoom in) reveals how we lay out the cuts so a singular massive slab of Brazilian soap stone can fold around to create the entire exterior of our Relief Stone Cabinet. The parts are all cut by waterjet to allow for a tight cut sheet and interlocking hinges. We then install custom brass and stainless steel hardware to ensure the doors open effortlessly. Before assembly, each panel is milled out by a CNC router to remove unnecessary weight while the remaining ribs retain each panels strength and create the distinct “relief” pattern. NEWSFLASH!! We are excited to announce that this piece as well as our entire #qualitiesofmaterial collection is now available directly through us allowing us to make them more accessible to those interested in living with them! 📷 @brianwferry #reliefstonecabinet #qualitiesofmaterial #fortstandard #limitededition #stonecabinet

Hinge details from our Relief Stone Credenza. Although the actual hinge is stone there is custom inlaid brass hardware that allows the doors to open effortlessly providing extra strength and preventing the stone from wearing on itself. There are also hidden magnets inlaid into the doors to keep them shut and provide a satisfying little moment and thud when they are closed that is so subtle most people don't even notice it. 📷 Clemens Kois #fortstandard #qualitiesofmaterial #reliefstonecredenza #stonecredenza (at Fort Standard)
