I was responsible for designing several pieces of furniture and furnishings to inhabitat a house commissioned by a wealthy Californian doctor.  The kitchen island's elegance lies in its simplicity and openess.  Although sparse, the wrought iron and brass frame provides a solid foundation that creates a strong sense of space beneath.  The dining table is that of a reclaimed slab supported by custom cast brass legs.  The design of the legs is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional lion's claw.  Both are constructed and pictures will follow shortly.

Island in context.
