Above is a console table designed and built by Ken Bizzell (404.771.9245, kbiz1 (at) bellsouth.net). To me it's the perfect balance of industrial edge, clean lines and a creative twist with the tall height of the top made from barn tin. This design is also available in a matching side and coffee table.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsAKiRdFRLvX1o_5dY7Ro7MOJrsEJTro1C5_P06J7J791hJZEpDZo7XzMTIwezjJZJ9y0nBPAe7yXXwNAwRxpjGyM5rpi6RA29yb0pFF5n8-dcMKm0fqgnpZr_xzapRxm1ei3lFQ3MT4/s1600/P1090092.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573757398605253506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsAKiRdFRLvX1o_5dY7Ro7MOJrsEJTro1C5_P06J7J791hJZEpDZo7XzMTIwezjJZJ9y0nBPAe7yXXwNAwRxpjGyM5rpi6RA29yb0pFF5n8-dcMKm0fqgnpZr_xzapRxm1ei3lFQ3MT4/s640/P1090092.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width;" /></a>Ken fabricates the hip base of this round coffee table with steel, circle-cut.

Last week's behind-the-scenes visits in Atlanta are all thanks to Richard Taylor of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/fedatl">Flat Earth Designs</a> (you may remember him from the <a href="http://www.mynottinghill.blogspot.com/2010/06/its-not-leather-its-concrete.html">post</a> It's not leather, It's concrete!) who was very generous with his time and gave me a tour of some great design sources, including his own warehouse. First up is furniture designer <a href="http://www.davelennard.com/">Dave Lennard</a>, whose warehouse is located right next to Richard's. Dave handcrafts large scale zinc-topped tables that are beautiful in both finish and proportion. Many of his designs have that sought after Belgian aesthetic. I also happen to be swooning over those chairs too!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKV9p6kMqlfzxXKObvnlMsVFTNLWIyOX2UqUoPXP9uVEakwbAAZQY4sAysSbBSUhopH5DknG1UKBD01O479qF1z-uVSqqgSW_X_UXKkr40gYBhJ30FTMlPvtj2V7q9ZBus4JziyKfiKGk/s1600/18.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495737599048465378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKV9p6kMqlfzxXKObvnlMsVFTNLWIyOX2UqUoPXP9uVEakwbAAZQY4sAysSbBSUhopH5DknG1UKBD01O479qF1z-uVSqqgSW_X_UXKkr40gYBhJ30FTMlPvtj2V7q9ZBus4JziyKfiKGk/s640/18.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" /></a> This table with the rivets has more of an industrial edge to it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKUQ2LkJkIWmrNY3kwl1__OkPY5dITg3Dyp7DJWOlcXwXbNIr0JhyphenhyphenJ8Uq2naDuoe658PjVkYcrmq9bJvnmYPHvtaqjc_fP4a4NSLC04Hkuny7Hku8raoICsILa9yepf-ibYhWoddWkNQ/s1600/16.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495737456222610578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKUQ2LkJkIWmrNY3kwl1__OkPY5dITg3Dyp7DJWOlcXwXbNIr0JhyphenhyphenJ8Uq2naDuoe658PjVkYcrmq9bJvnmYPHvtaqjc_fP4a4NSLC04Hkuny7Hku8raoICsILa9yepf-ibYhWoddWkNQ/s640/16.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" /></a>Particularly love the patina of the zinc on this table. In addition to furniture, Dave carries industrial antiques and unique accessories. Good news is that his work is available to both the public and the trade.
