Jun 30, 2009Great Granite!
I was in Michigan recently speaking at Susan Fredman’s At Home with Nature and I got a tour of Susie’s home, where I was one of the first to see her new table. Roger Boike, a designer for Fredman, had this giant granite boulder cut in half and shipped from Southeast Asia. The top was “flamed” to give it a pebbly finish without being uneven. It’s a more rustic alternative to a honed or polished finish, Roger says. All we know is, this table rocks! —JAN PARR Posted at 09:52 AM in Spotted | Back to all posts |

Super cool- but not super sustainable. Shipped in from Asia? We have boulders here! Less carbon footprint! And now I'll get back to my bowl of granola....
(kidding. It is lovely though...)
thanks for the mention jan. the whole line is really incredible - basalt columns, granite boulder benches, amazing contemporary bird baths.
