The Tokyo table by Loïc Bard grants a subtle wave of gentleness, low to the ground with rounded edges extending quietly for the magazine compartment below. Pale maple wood finished in natural oil glides gently throughout from table top to the tripod legs. The artist’s inspiration comes after a trip to Japan, “I designed this table while remembering the sober atmosphere, the simplicity of the utensils, and the rustic environment of the tea ceremony.” Handmade of fine craftsmanship out of his Montreal workshop. It’s presence is cool calm and collective, a practical piece provoking balance and relaxation in absolute zen.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
