This bespoke custom bar-height wine-tasting table is meticulously designed to complement my client’s wine room.
I crafted the steel base of this table, using a blend of chemicals to give it a unique patina. The result is a beautiful marbled, aged copper finish. The copper colors in the steel base accent, the copper-colored lines in the marble countertops, and the greens that appear from the patination process complement the green velvet chairs.
I opted for Wenge wood for the tabletop, a distinctive choice that complements the cabinets’ dark espresso stain. Then, I finished it with a clear coat, which highlights the wood’s natural deep espresso brown coloration. Wenge is an incredibly durable wood.
The table stands at a comfortable bar height of 42” tall. With a spacious top measuring 40” wide by 86” long and 4” thick, it offers ample space for wine-tasting gatherings. Despite its slim base, strategic weighting ensures stability, making tipping unlikely.
