Honey-colored vertical stripes in the quartered ebony follow the rims and temples. SIRIS identifies its quartered ebony as Macassar ebony, native to Sulawesi and used by Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann in his circa-1925 Fuseaux cabinet. The dark fumed oak gets its color from the wood’s own tannins, a treatment Gustav Stickley popularized in his Mission furniture. Fine layers of nacre make the abalone flash blue and green as the frame catches the light.

CNC-milled brown cotton-fiber and wood-pulp composite substrate.
