Art Deco Shagreen

Drawing inspiration from the Deco era, this tabletop sample showcases the luxurious materials emblematic of the period—shagreen leather paired with quilted, or ‘bubble,’ ivory maple. The edge profile is defined by bold stepped forms, while symmetry is reinforced through the precise geometry of the design.




The sample effectively represents both a tabletop and table edge. The shagreen is not only decorative and of the time but also a robust material, making it ideal for table edges or trim.
