Golden Gate Design
& Furniture Co. to Debut New Coffee Table Design at 2013 Dwell On Design
Show in Los Angeles
The company that crafts unique artisan
furniture from original steel removed from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge will
debut a modified Coffee Table design at the Dwell On Design Show in Los Angeles
this June.
Pacifica, CA (May 15, 2013) –
Golden Gate Design & Furniture Company (GGDFC) is preparing to exhibit
their product line of limited edition furniture crafted from original steel off
the Golden Gate Bridge at the upcoming Dwell On Design show in Los Angeles. GGDFC, who will be exhibiting their unique
hand-crafted designs in Booth 1223, plans to debut a modified version of the
Coffee Table design that incorporates an inset Claro Walnut table top.
The
modified Coffee Table design incorporates an inset piece of locally salvaged
Claro Walnut as its table top, as opposed to the glass table top normally used
in the design. The particular piece of
wood used for this design displays a beautiful graft line where an English
Walnut tree was grafted onto a native California Walnut root stock, as was
commonly done with orchards in the area.
The native Walnut tree fared better in the California climate, but the
English Walnut had a higher nut yield and a thinner shell, so it would be
grafted onto the native tree, thus extending its life. The resulting wood near the graft line, with
its beautiful, variegated marble-like swirls was what was then originally
referred to as Claro Walnut.
GGDFC
is the brainchild of San Francisco area resident, Richard Bulan. The company creates limited edition artisan furniture
from original steel that was placed on the Golden Gate Bridge during its
construction in the 1930’s. Richard
crafts his designs from sections of pedestrian handrail that were removed
during the Bridge’s handrail replacement in 1993. He acquired the handrail in 1994 and has
since created and put into limited production his signature headboard design
along with various table and lamp designs.
Dwell on Design, the largest
design show on the West Coast, will be taking place from Friday, June 21 to
Sunday, June 23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. GGDFC invites you to visit them at the Dwell
on Design exhibition in Booth 1223. The show
is open Friday June 21 from 10am to 7pm, Saturday, June 22, 10am to 6pm, and
Sunday June 23, 10am to 4pm. For
