Gorgeous Glass River Inlays Breathe Life into Sustainably Sourced Wood Furniture
Furniture maker Greg Klassen brings the beauty of the Pacific Northwest indoors with the River Collection, a series of incredible reclaimed wood tables embedded with glass pieces that evoke crystal clear lakes rivers and lakes. Klassen sustainably sourced the wood for the tabletops from the banks of the Nooksack River, which flows below his studio in Washington. Made mostly from salvaged walnut or maple, each furniture piece celebrates the wood’s unique character by leaving the natural grain, holes, and edges intact.
For most of his pieces, the hand-cut glass is used to merge two live-edge slabs together and to mimic the appearance of a meandering river.
From coffee tables to large conference desks, Klassen’s handcrafted furnishings all include a brilliant inlay of blue-green glass.
The polished wood pieces set on either side of the glass become the riverbanks.
