Our blown glass and reclaimed/found materials series, a fun collaboration with Token for Reclaim X2!

The pieces are part of a charity sale to benefit the Brooklyn Recovery Fund. If you’re in NY, they’re on display all weekend at 446 Broadway. They’re also available online. The first Reclaim show, last winter, was conceived as a way for the design community to contribute to rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy. This show encouraged collaboration between designers of different disciplines to emphasize coming together in a time of need.

16/45 Table- New Variations

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:24:00 -0500

Since debuting the 16/45 Table as part of our War Craft Line, we’ve created several iterations of the table. It’s been cool to find that just by playing with scale, materiality, or shape, it can take a fresh view.

Rectangular teak end tables with smoked glass.

Via our newsletter-

As you may have heard, our showroom was heavily damaged due to flooding during Hurricane Sandy. Thank you for all the support we’ve received in the past months. You guys are great. We are now proud to announce that we’re back on track to reopen it by Design Week this spring.

Until then, we just got in several logs of over thirty gorgeous black walnut slabs, sustainably sourced from Pennsylvania. One of the reasons that we love to make slab tables is that each one tells a different story. We’re excited to get back into what we do best. If you’re interested, feel free to contact Jason directly for more info and photos at jason@uhurudesign.com.

Happy New Year!
