Saranac Collection 2016
Designers: IDa Design Zeeland, Michigan, USA
Manufacturer: The Gunlocke Company LLC., Wayland, Michigan, USA
Gunlocke’s new Saranac collection, designed by Mitch Bakker and the team at IDa Design, echoes a subtle balance in the relationship between the indoor space and that on the outside, reaching beyond the workplace itself. The rustic, yet modern, collection includes tables and companion furniture – benches and credenzas.
With Saranac, Gunlocke continues to merge traditional and relaxed design harmoniously with natural influences. In bringing Saranac to life, the design team examined how minimalistic support structures, such as trestles and bridges, work in tandem with nature to create this allwood table. The table is one that truly allows Gunlocke’s skilled craftsman to unlock their creative talents and knowledge of wood furniture design and construction.
The collection’s centerpiece features elegantly angled branch legs that add a touch of rustic sensibility and timeless design to any workplace. Its simplicity makes it ideal for both casual meeting and gathering spaces and more formal use, such as touchdown zones or conference rooms, or even as a desk in private offices. Giving the feel of reclaimed wood, Saranac’s tabletop offers a sophisticated, plank layup in a variety of veneer finishes to highlight the individual veneer pieces.
