Maynard Studios created this striking console table to complement a railing they made several years prior. It works beautifully in tandem with the railing, while also standing on its own merits. The forged steel “sashes” and arch frieze were used to soften the table’s rectilinear shape. The studio's unique design also works with elements in a favorite painting that the client wished to hang on the wall above the table.
