Augusta Dining Table

The Augusta reinterprets the classic dining table. Representing the generations before us, the design seems to grow from an invisible root. The table legs are oriented to this common core, reaching up to hold the book-matched tabletop. Solid European walnut wood was selected for its meaning of wisdom and growth. We use wood, usually discarded by furniture makers for its challenges to work with. The knots, the cracks, the wind shakes and the unique swirls tell the story of the tree´s life. We showcase the uniqueness of the wood to let this story live on in a piece of family heirloom furniture.

Bio Miles J Rice set out to make timeless yet unexpected pieces of design furniture, created with honesty and appreciation for the material, the crafts and the design.
Following in the footsteps of the artisan-craftsmen, Miles is a self-taught designer, whose mantra is: "You cannot teach passion." Taking inspiration from traditional designs and crafts, he is able to push far beyond these to create his very own visual language. This includes using pieces of wood, usually discarded for furniture making, allowing them to add their uniqueness to the designs to create pieces of forever furniture.
