The Pegasus Project – A Story of Strength and Elegance

Project Name: Pegasus

Client: A Private Homeowner in US

Executed by: Nobletimber

Why the Name "Pegasus"?

The name "Pegasus" was chosen to reflect the qualities of strength, freedom, and majesty that this table embodies. Like the mythical winged horse Pegasus, known for its power and grace, the table is a blend of elegance and resilience. The client wanted a table that would serve as a central, grounding presence in their home, bringing people together while exuding a sense of timeless beauty. "Pegasus" symbolizes the freedom to connect, the strength to endure, and the elegance to elevate any setting.

Client Requirements

The client, a private homeowner, came to us with a clear vision for their table:

• Shape: A large, organically shaped live-edge table that celebrates the natural contours of the wood, creating a statement piece that feels both strong and unique.
• Seating Capacity: The table needed to comfortably seat 10-12 people, making it perfect for family gatherings and social occasions.
• Natural Aesthetic: The client desired a design that would retain the natural beauty and rugged character of the wood, honoring its origins while providing a refined, artistic finish.
• Custom Design and Name: The client trusted Nobletimber with the freedom to choose a design and name that would embody the strength and elegance they envisioned, creating a piece that would become a cherished part of their home.

The Design and Crafting Process

Creating "Pegasus" was a journey of careful planning, creativity, and dedication. Here’s a look at the process that brought this masterpiece to life:

Initial Concept and Brainstorming

Our team collaborated with the client to understand their desire for a table that would combine natural beauty with a sense of luxury. We envisioned an organically shaped, live-edge table that would bring out the raw, untouched beauty of the wood. The name "Pegasus" was chosen to reflect the table’s bold presence and timeless allure, much like the mythical creature that inspired it.

Material Selection

For the Pegasus project, we chose Monkey Pod wood, a rare and durable hardwood that combines strength with striking visual appeal. The wood was sourced responsibly, aligning with Nobletimber’s commitment to sustainability. Each piece of Monkey Pod wood was carefully selected for its rich grain patterns, unique swirls, and golden-brown tones that create a captivating effect on the large surface of the table.

Crafting and Detailing

Once the wood was selected, our skilled artisans began shaping and crafting the table. The live-edge design preserved the natural contours of the wood, giving the table a rugged elegance that feels organic and timeless. Each piece of wood was meticulously sanded and polished, allowing the grain patterns and textures to shine. This process ensured that the table would be as functional as it was beautiful, providing a solid and durable surface for dining and gatherings.

Client Collaboration and Feedback

Throughout the project, we kept the client involved with regular updates, sharing photos and videos of each stage of the crafting process. The client appreciated seeing the table evolve from raw wood into a refined masterpiece, and each update brought new excitement as Pegasus took shape. Their feedback guided us in making adjustments to ensure that every detail met their expectations.

Final Assembly and Quality Check

After months of careful craftsmanship, the Pegasus table was finally complete. Our team conducted a thorough quality check to ensure that every detail aligned with Nobletimber’s high standards and the client’s vision. The result was a stunning table that radiated strength, freedom, and elegance, ready to take its place in the client’s home.

Timeline

Wood Selection

For the Pegasus table, we chose Monkey Pod wood, known for its durability and striking visual appeal. This wood was selected to highlight the unique, organic beauty of the table’s live-edge design and to ensure the longevity and resilience needed for frequent gatherings.
