Sample Sale Alert: Gather 'Round an Evanson Table

The Evanson showroom has samples available immediately for the holidays with many styles to choose from and seasonal sale prices.

We especially love this Astor dining table, part of the Evanson furniture collection. Featured with Walnut stain on a figured Sapele veneer top and solid Mahogany base with Nickel plated bronze hardware, this table is good enough to eat off of.

Visit the Evanson showroom on the DDB's floor 14 or call 212-317-2030 for more information.

Where in the DDB?

Think you can guess which DDB showroom we snapped these two photographs in? Leave us a comment with your guess to show us how well you know the DDB. The answer will be in next week's "Where in the DDB?" post.

Hint: Four generations of this family-owned company have been based in L.A., fabricating custom furniture in their 120,000 square foot factory.

Caution: Collaborative Freefall at Evanson

It is the unmistakable WOW factor that hits you upon first entering the Evanson Showroom. What is striking is not only the sleek lines and attention to craft, but the diversity of work in both natural and faux finishes such as exotic woods, goatskin, antique gold leaf, rice paper, bone, grasscloth—the combinations seem endless.
 
The collaboration between husband and wife architects Lisa and James Evanson consistently leads to a thoughtfully and creatively executed result. The Evansons begin by analyzing the functional requirements, then they create detailed artful drawings, and finally select the appropriate materials and finish.

“Many times a designer will bring a floorplan or a diagram of the project requirements; ideas and samples are tossed around, and the collaborative freefall begins. Later this potpourri of ideas will crystallize and the Evanson magic begins," Lisa told us. 

Above is their newest piece, the Janette Table.

Evanson: Form and Function

Janette Table
The voluptuous sculptural base in black lacquer balances form and function.  The top, in banana leaf, is eco-friendly in the fact that it is quick growing and sustainably harvested.  It is handcrafted in a sunburst pattern, sealed in polyester, and finished in high gloss or satin.
