William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust; Chapel Hill, NC
Octagonal board table in mahogany and leather. Architect designed;
solid mahogany with a kid-leather top;
the unusual shape echoes the octagonal detailing in the room’s ceiling;
the wood lines in the top show where each section begins and ends;
built off-site and assembled in the room, with the sections being brought
in via a crane through the fifth-floor room’s large windows.

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton; Raleigh, NC
Boat-shaped conference table in cherry, satin wood, and granite. Designed by us;
solid cherry, with cherry and satinwood veneers, and a granite writing surface; computer connections in the top go through the bases to outlets in the floor;
built in 1996 for one office and subsequently dissembled and moved by us to two other locations;
refurbished by us in 2011 after the client’s most recent move.

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton; Raleigh, NC
Detail of the Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton table. Table detail:
the bright satinwood band and the reverse-diamond layout of the veneers provide interest in what could otherwise have been a rather somber top;
not visible is the steel substructure supporting the weighty granite;
steel allows the edge profile of the table to be thin;
if the support were wood, the top would be too thick to accommodate knees.

Glaxo Smith Kline; Research Triangle Park, NC
Board table detail—cherry, mahogany, marble. Architect designed;
cherry veneers and mahogany solids with alabaster inlays in the top and spacers in the legs;
this is one of two rounded ends of the racetrack-shaped table which was built to be taken apart and reconfigured as needed.
