Patchwork Coffee Table by R. Mitchell, 1982

The wood tells its own story. Gridded end-grain pine, each block reveals years of slow, patient growth, sealed under a thick lacquer.

A table built to last, to absorb the weight of elbows, wine glasses, and conversations that stretch long into the night.

Frank liked objects that carried history��not just in their design, but in the way they were used. He never worried about scuffs or scratches; to him, they were just proof of life well-lived.

Tracing the swirling grain with his fingertip, Frank said, ��It looks like a cross-section of time,�� as he poured another drink.
