Going back to basics, the Christian Woo 2012 Collection is filled with modest wooden furniture that relies heavily on quality craftsmanship rather than distracting embellishments and unnecessary details. It is made out of stunning pieces of sustainably harvested hardwood that have been finished with hand-rubbed oils so as to bring out its natural tones as well as accentuate the grain.
The Canadian furniture designer is known for his precision when it comes to this craft. The Christian Woo 2012 Collection is the most recent example of his woodworking skill. Comprised of tables, benches and even a bed frame, each piece is impeccably created. Although some might call his work plain, the splayed legs on the dining table, glass surface on his coffee table and low, wide bed frame speak otherwise.
