Late 20th Century","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThere are furniture makers, and then there are those rare individuals who treat wood the way a sculptor treats marbel — coaxing form from the material rather than imposing it. David N. Ebner belongs to the latter category, and this wall-mounted console table is among the most distilled expressions of his lifelong pursuit: furniture as quiet, enduring art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCrafted from \u003cstrong\u003ehighly figured Australian lacewood\u003c\/strong\u003e — a timber prized for its luminous, lace-like ray figure that seems to shift under changing light — this \"demilune-form\" console floats from the wall with an architectural confidence. The top is a shallow wedge shape, its angled front edge hand-chamfered to a clean bevel that runs the full width of the piece. Rather than a conventional apron, Ebner routes the structural tension through two dramatically elongated, hand-carved legs that splay and taper to fine points, terminating in small ebonized wood feet. The junction where leg meets top is one of the finest details in the piece: a flowing, organic transition — more grown than built — where the wood seems to exhale from structure into surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eExposed joinery at the leg-to-top connections is not an oversight but a deliberate statement. Ebner's work has always honored the intelligence of craft, and here the joinery is presented as its own form of ornament — legible, honest, and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout David N.

Ebner (American, b. 1945, Buffalo, New York) is a master woodworker and a central figure in the \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Studio Craft movement\u003c\/strong\u003e. He studied at the School for American Craftsmen at the Rochester Institute of Technology under the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eWendell Castle\u003c\/strong\u003e, then furthered his studies at the London School of Furniture Design. After two years of military service, he established his studio on Long Island's south shore in 1973 — and has been making what he calls \u003cem\u003e\"antiques of the future\"\u003c\/em\u003e ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHis career received national recognition in 1975 when his \u003cem\u003eRenwick Stool\u003c\/em\u003e was acquired for the \u003cstrong\u003eSmithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery\u003c\/strong\u003e permanent collection. His work is also held by the \u003cstrong\u003eArt Institute of Chicago\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003eYale University Art Gallery\u003c\/strong\u003e, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEbner's design philosophy centers on elegant simplicity — stripping classical forms to their essential geometry while amplifying the inherent expressiveness of natural materials. This console is a perfect embodiment of that ethos: nothing extraneous, everything deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003eFrom a private New York collector.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobbs Modern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45239493427253,"sku":"HM3","price":6495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/5534\/3925\/files\/David_Ebner_Hobbs_Modern-26_3a5f42bc-01a2-4986-b022-4a3684b9c15c.jpg?v=1779305262","url":"https:\/\/hobbsmodern.com\/products\/david-n-ebner-wall-mounted-console-table-in-australian-lacewood-studio-craft-c-late-20th-century","provider":"Hobbs Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
