The Parabola Collection — White Ash and Mirror Stainless

Project: New Residence

Location: Moose Jaw, SK

Date: December, 2017

Material: White Ash and Polished Stainless Steel

"A nine-foot dining table, credenza, and entryway table — white ash and mirror stainless steel, designed as a suite around a single parabolic form."

The house sits overlooking a golf course — bright, open, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. The material palette was already established: glass, stainless steel, warm white ash. The furniture needed to belong to it.

The clients are both doctors. The design brief gravitated naturally toward dynamic form, mathematical precision, and clean polished surfaces. A parabola came to mind — the curve has both rigour and elegance, and it gave the pedestal legs their name and their shape.

The commission was three pieces: a nine-foot dining table to seat ten to twelve, a large credenza for the living room, and a narrow entryway table. Each built from white ash and mirror-finished stainless steel.

The stainless is doing something specific here. Bent into a gentle curve and polished to a mirror finish, it reflects the floor and the room around it — the legs read as almost absent, the tabletop appearing to support itself. The material is structural and optical at once.

Three pieces, one material logic, one continuous design language across the suite.
