STUDIO VENTANA X TIM NOONE

The Peregrine Dining Table designed by Studio Ventana was inspired was inspired by traditional spear throwing implements and spearheads as well as the talon of the Peregrine falcon that informed the initial shape and detailing.

The table is made entirely of solid Wenge - an African Hardwood. Several species entered the conversation when trying to figure out which timber would best express the shape and detailing of the Peregrine table. It was decided that only solid Wenge would do the design justice. Great care was taken to ensure the economical use of the Wenge - particularly in the production of the legs. They may look insignificant enough, but if they were made up of giant blocks literally two thirds or more would have been carved away, so they were made up of smaller tapered blocks to reduce waste.

Tim Noone is a furniture maker. Both are based in Sydney.
