Willis Industrial - Rustic Modern Furniture

Here at Willis Industrial, raw materials are used to build one of a kind pieces that speak to people. Creating things for people to enjoy is something that I’ve loved to do for a long time. It could be anything – painting, cooking, music, landscaping, graphic design, and now furniture… these have all been passions that have brought me great joy. It’s something that I can do that brings a smile to people’s faces, and that’s one of the greatest things you can ever do as a person.

This table was made for a large mesquite round and filled with a semi opaque blue epoxy. Weighing in at 65 lbs, it's big and beautiful. We went with a sturdy 1" square steel tube to fashion the legs to make sure that they would hold up to the weight of this table. Click the link to view similar tables!
Dramatic mesquite wood with amazing grain contrasts the beautiful epoxy coloring, and protected with a clear coating of epoxy. Easy to clean with household tools, you won't have to worry about stains from spills. This is a popular wood and epoxy combination, and it's easy to see why. The color combination of deep brown mesquite is the perfect compliment to the vibrant turquoise. We chose a black matte steel base for a clean look and to keep the table top the highlight of this cool piece.
This slab had tons of character, and we thought it best to accentuate this by leaving as much live edge present on the table. Some of the central voids were filled to allow a better surface for setting objects on the table. The slab was finished with a low sheen wax to add water resistance while keeping the wood grain as natural as possible. The base is a simple pair of steel framed squares in a matte black, which matches the epoxy and keeps the focus on the table top.

This cabinet was created for two special friends that have started collecting vinyl, and wanted something to contain their collection. They decided on walnut for the wood, and I chose a frame style that was inspired by Le Corbusier’s chair designs. The piece was intentionally designed to be simple, with little to no embellishments. A single leather strap gives access to the inside of the container.

This large 3 panel painting was an abstract commission that utilized automatic drawing – the process of creating as you go. Measuring 6′ x 12′, the piece was inspired by both Cy Twombly and Claude Monet, with large color fields and abstract explosions of color that melt down the piece. Acrylic / Oil on Board.
