ARTLESS GAX 16 Bench - Wood

ARTLESS GAX 16 is the newest member of the GAX family. A bench seemed like the most obvious iteration out of this design. Two 16" by 16" polished Stainless Steel bases on top of a 2" solid Walnut top. Beauty always wins.

ARTLESS GAX is the most architectural and most structural of our designs. It is a very simple solution to a very common problem, a table with no apron. By designing a table with just two elements, the base and the top. A 2” solid wood top, 2” tubular base, no cross members, and no other structural elements; the cleanest possible approach meant to last a lifetime. THE GAX tables and benches are work horses camouflaged as stallions, sturdy, strong, and nearly indestructible, yet of an undeniable beauty and elegance. Each GAX piece is different, yet they all have an "indestructible" wood top, which contrasts nicely with the reflective nature of the polished stainless steel base. The solid wood board top has an oil rubbed hand finish, giving off a matte, deep luster while allowing a coaster free living. By using 2” solid wood, for structural purposes, we also create a recreational worktable that tolerates hot and cold objects.

The GAX top is composed of solid lumber similar to a butcher-block, but much more beautiful. The GAX base is made of marine grade Stainless Steel, meticulously hand polished to a mirror finish, a complicated and laborious task, well worth it. The GAX base is not your typical reflective metal base. We use Stainless Steel as opposed to the ubiquitous chromed steel, as chrome is a cheap and environmentally damaging practice.
