Terra Firma Table by Ross Didier

“Good art communicates ideas and good design is useful… the stories this creates is inspiring.” - Ross Didier.

With a proud family background in design and manufacturing, and personal study in Industrial Design and Sculpture, it was only natural for Australian designer Ross Didier to combine these passions. Fusing art and design with an intention to produce high quality products that are full of character, Didier has created some of the most innovative and original furniture designs of our time.

His approach of play, experimentation and continually striving to make interesting design, is combined with the following design principle: the concepts that make it to commercial production must be saleable, innovative, sculptural and most importantly useful. This ethos has made for some eclectic and intriguing pieces that have been procured by some of the biggest brands in the world.

Didier’s idea of design as “engineered art” is evident in the Terra Firma table. A shining example of beautiful craftsmanship, this table celebrates the simplicity of masterfully honed timber. The unique design evokes memories of the quintessential refectory table but with a modern twist, the tapered form creating natural trapeziums to the floor that support the table-top.

“Through rigorous experimentation, honesty to materials and deep respect for process, we work to a strict code of conduct and push for accessible quality. Celebrating the inherent soul of our products by giving raw beauty the dignity it deserves.”  For Didier the manufacturing practice is equally as important as the design process so you can always be assured of quality - this is no different for the Terra Firma table. Manufactured in an oak timber, this table is versatile, solid, visually light and highly functional - a superior addition to any home, office or workspace.
