Turkey Tail: A Sculptural Center Table Inspired by Nature

Bringing the Tropical Rainforest to Your Living Room

This and That's Forest Collection by Ariane Thakore Ginwala

Ariane Thakore Ginwala's latest creation, the Turkey Tail center table, is a stunning piece of furniture that brings the beauty of the tropical rainforest into your living room. Inspired by her travels to the lush forests of Borneo, Ginwala has captured the essence of nature in a functional and sculptural design.

The Turkey Tail collection includes a series of tables, benches, and shelving, all made from natural woods like Paduk, Haldi, Wenga, Teak, and Walnut sourced from the deep interiors of Gujarat, India. These pieces not only serve a practical purpose but also act as sculptural accents in any space.

What sets the Turkey Tail table apart is its intricate inlay work. Ginwala's skilled craftsmen have used different types of wood in their natural colors to create a design that mimics the organic forms found in the forest. The uneven shapes and natural imperfections of the table add to its intrinsic beauty.

The table is a combination of a metal base and a wooden inlayed surface. The inlay work is done using CNC machines and handcrafted techniques to achieve the desired design. The result is a visually stunning piece that showcases the beauty of nature in every detail.

Measuring 762 mm (W) x 762 mm (D) x 406.4 mm (H), the Turkey Tail table is the perfect size for any living room or lounge area. Its unique design and natural colors make it a versatile piece that can complement a variety of interior styles.

The Turkey Tail table was first showcased at the AD Design Show in October 2018, after months of research and sourcing the perfect materials. Ginwala's vision of creating a piece that stays true to nature without the use of artificial wood or stained colors was a challenge, but the end result is a testament to her dedication and creativity.

Ariane Thakore Ginwala's Turkey Tail table has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2019, a prestigious accolade that celebrates well-designed, practical, and innovative creations. This award recognizes the table's integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world.

Bring a touch of the tropical rainforest into your home with the Turkey Tail center table. Its unique design, inspired by nature's beauty, will surely be a conversation starter and a statement piece in any space.
