New table designs

The eastern dining room table has been popular with our customers. We're working on a new design in the same sort of style.

The style is derived from the arts and crafts style, which was "a reaction to the eclectic revival of historic styles of the Victorian era and to soulless machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution." This style emphasized creating pieces by hand, with a lesser amount of detail. This led to the Craftsman style of Gustav Stickley, the Prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Greene and Greene style -- which are the inspirations of many of the pieces in our collection.

We're also adding some asian design influence to the new design. This includes open support members (like you might see on a pagoda), slanting (rather than straight) lines, and simplicity of design.
