After a trip to Vienna in 1908, Dard Hunter is said to have inspired Karl Kipp's introduction of Viennese Quadrat-Motif influences in many Roycroft metalwork designs. Today, historic Quadrat-Motif designs can be seen as contributing precursors to 20th C. Modernism and the International Style.

Lee Badger's Quadrat-Motif Tables are a thoroughly modern interpretation of these Arts & Crafts influences. They are individually crafted from laser cut and hand forged steel, made in various sizes and proportions depending on their intended place and use.

The finish is an oxide patina created directly from the steel surface and fixed with Boston polish amber paste wax. The tops are ½” bronze plate glass with beveled edges. The inset top design allows alternate tops of wood, stone or composite solid-surface materials.
