WHY SALT MARSH RIVER?
a meandering river makes its way to the sea in u-shaped loops perpendicular to its overall flow. the loops are called oxbows and are a critical element to an estuary's ability to scrub water of toxins and pollutants. in the same way, the wood grain of this piece flows in perpendicular snapshots to the loop of steel
this table can function as a desk, as an entry console, as a bench, as a buffet. let us know dimensions or email with questions. we'd love to make it a perfect fit for your space

BIRDLOFT ETHOS OF GREEN
All birdloft reclaimed materials are sustainably harvested in a big-hearted, biodiesel-breathing compact pickup truck. This is just one aspect of our ongoing efforts to be responsibly awesome.
SOURCING
Sourced steel is estimated at 89.5% recycled content. All wood is reclaimed, meaning it has been salvaged for re-use from barns, warehouses and other industrial agrarian buildings in Seattle, Tacoma and the Puget Sound environs. Wood patina varies with each piece of furniture, but is similar in tone, mineral stain, wear and sheen.
CRAFT
birdloft prides itself on its exceptional craft. Every piece is made with meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of how wood moves and breathes.
FINISH
Steel is hot rolled factory black finished with a clear matte enamel. Wood is finished with a locally produced tung oil and beeswax.
