Pared Down Simplicity: New Furniture from a Cult Woodworker

We've been following the work of master craftsman Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. for a while now (some of us are slowly collecting his work, piece by piece). So we took note when we learned that he's just introduced a new line of furniture, starting with a low table—coffee table height—and bench. Vogel plans to expand the line and introduce new wood types in the coming months. Here is a first look at the new pieces.

Above: The low table and bench is available through Blackcreek Mercantile in three finishes of white oak: bleached, natural, or black (a natural dye process, shown here). The Low Table is 53” long, 27.5” wide, and 13.5” tall for $4,500; the tables can also be customized to square, rectangle (as shown here), or circle shapes.

Above: Each piece comes from a single, premium plank of domestic and sustainability sourced wood: “We used thick timber to minimize the parts necessary, and to maximize the ability to join those parts.” The table or bench is then constructed with all wood joinery with leg joints cross pinned for durability.

Above: Benches measure 56.5” long, 12” wide, and 16” tall for $1,950 and can be customized up to 6’ in length (although longer lengths are possible).
