Designed and handmade in Israel by Alon Dodo, the Black Patch Match wooden table highlights a somewhat rustic aesthetic that makes it look like it has been stitched together.
The Black Patch Match table looks like a modern piece of furniture from afar, but it's only upon closer inspection that the out of place corner piece is observed. It's a different color from the rest of the table and looks as though it were stitched into place as a way to perhaps fix a break or damage. In reality, the portion is intentionally designed as such and held in place with white wooden stitches to help further accentuate the intentionally chic design defect.
The Black Patch Match wooden table helps to change perceptions regarding fabric stitching to help celebrate the practice through woodwork.
