177 - Copper Ridge

Style Inspiration

Copper Ridge is crafted with a casual style distinguished by clean lines complementing rich rustic hickory veneers randomly planked with dramatic contrast from naturally occurring mineral streaking and bordered with quartered cherry veneers. Veneers are presented in several creative motifs, including V matched. 

The collection¡¯s signature veneer design incorporates circular curves or "strapping" in the corners, reminiscent of the knee brace architectural timber frame
construction used in turn-of-the-century barn construction. 
Eye-catching antiqued copper metal accents with an industrial flair, rendered in bold geometric X shapes, give the collection a contemporary feel tempered with a strong Americana influence. Clever functionality, versatility of use, and extensive storage add to the broad appeal and up-to-the-minute detail of this distinctive collection.

Wood and Finish

Copper Ridge is crafted from radiata solids in a rich Harvest Brown finish. The hickory veneers, are hand selected by their shades resulting from mineral streaking that naturally occurs in the wood grain. These are placed for maximum contrast and dramatic appeal.  The veneers are presented for maximum visual appeal in designs that feature V matching on some pieces and starbursts on others. The collection's premier veneer design, highlighting the pieces with larger expanses, is a striking parquetry design with circular curves in the corner, evocative of the knee brace timber frame construction commonly used on more rustic buildings in 19th century America.  Quartered cherry tops balance the richness of the hickory veneer designs they accentuate.

Hardware
Custom designed hardware includes bail pulls and square knobs with an authentic seeming patina of hand rubbed copper.  Geometrically shaped matching metal accents and collars complement the rustic feel of the custom crafted hardware.
