Green Leap Timber & Steel
Timber & Steel is rooted in an organic approach to furniture making, where raw materials guide the design process. Founded by Tim Honess in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, the studio crafts furniture that blends past and present, transforming spaces with a refined yet natural aesthetic. What began as a hobby, has evolved into a thoughtful practice of creating functional, artful pieces—ranging from living room tables to conference room centerpieces.
New Products Developed with Monmade
Timber & Steel introduces a pair of nesting tables, thoughtfully designed to adapt to modern interiors while maintaining the warmth and character of handcrafted woodwork
Featured Product Specifications
Oculus Sculpted Nesting Tables blend sculptural form with functional versatility. Designed to create a dynamic focal point, each table features hand-carved solid wood bases—crafted from locally sourced, reclaimed hardwoods including elm (shown here), oak, ash, and black cherry—and finished in either a clear coat or black stain to enhance their silhouette.
Lightly finished character wood tops showcase the grain and warmth of the material, offering a natural contrast to the bold, modern base.
Whether styled together as a statement piece or separated for flexible use, these tables strike an artful balance between craftsmanship and contemporary design—ideal for both residential and commercial interiors.
