Emerald Ash Bench was conceived after hearing a radio story about the invasive Emerald Ash Borer which is a jewel beetle that has been devastating the North American ash tree population. The story gave the visual of a beautiful green dot on a piece of ash wood.
Abalone shell circles were used to highlight the construction of the bench which is a design commonly found in Asia. Extremely decorative shell inlay is also typically Asian but here it is used in a very minimal way. Ten numbered and signed pieces were produced
The use of abalone shell inlay to highlight connection points will be passed onto Pearl Tables produced by Good Thing.
Prototype
This prototype has thicker members and uses mother of pearl inlay.
