The Belly Button End Tables feature luxuriously carved bottoms, shaped something like a hot-air balloon bulging out between the ropes that hold its basket. The full, plump sides are smoothed and curved like a motorcycle gas tank, tapering toward the center of the table in a wedge shape. Four of those wedges come together at the center in a small indent — which, with the belly-table metaphor already in place, read enough like a belly button to give the piece its name. The smooth, morphic-shaped bottoms float tall on tapered, stilted legs.
A pair of end tables meant to sit at either side of a couch. Made from solid oak dunnage that spent sixty years traveling as freight support — wood placed under heavy cargo to hold it off a train's deck so it could be strapped and lifted, the historical equivalent of a modern pallet. As Andrew puts it, this wood has traveled and seen more of the American Southwest than most Americans.
