No° 0094 John Houshmand’s Low Table

Here is a rustic and polished No° 0094 table which is a part of Collection 03.Houshmand uses only salvaged American hardwood in his designs – and he doesn’t seek out “flawless” pieces. His projects, ranging from residential to commercial and hospitality, have included the outfitting of Robert de Niro’s Greenwich Hotel in New York, complete furnshings for a house in Mexico, and installations in office buildings.

“We allow grains to spill. We love crumbling bark. We welcome wormholes.” John Houshmand’s collection aims to show what wood really looks like. After 25 years as a co-partner in a preeminent NYC-based contracting firm, Houshmand bought a saw-mill and spent his weekends there designing and crafting. He quit his job, transformed his Soho loft into a showroom and relocated to a 900-acre property in upstate New York, where he creates his furniture today. In his own words, the Yale-educated contractor-sculptor-musician “just sort of ran with it.”
