Corey Gannon
Corey Gannon is a furniture maker. His furniture has free expression and manipulation of form tempered with the practical, rational requirements of a table or chair or case. His work incorporates thoughtful, technical craftsmanship in opposition to the dissociation between people and the components of our made world. It incorporates worthy, beautiful timber in opposition to easy, thoughtless consumption.
Corey has an irreverence for precedent and utter reverence for the natural world, humans’ interaction with it, and our dependence on it. His work, the practice of cutting, joining, and shaping material that had a life of its own, is a tribute to traditional expertise and an aspiration to novel, interesting design.
Acid and Base Table
The table is built of white oak (q. alba) from the Ohio River Valley. There are no artificial dyes or stains. The white and black colors are achieved with bleach and ferric acid, which react in equal and opposite ways with the natural tannins in the species and preserve its distinct texture.

San Clemente Table
Near-flawless, book-matched claro walnut top from northern California. Claro, also known as flamed walnut, is a relatively rare species that only grows in the Pacific Northwest. The grain is typically fissured and curly, making the straight, nearly perfect lines of these pieces unique.
The base is built from the stock of a Sarasota carpentry shop for yachts and joined to the top with water jet-cut steel. The table is finished with conversion varnish and a ceramic coating.
