Birds of a Feather

January 2015 – High Point, NC – Occasional furniture manufacturer Jonathan Charles recounts the famous Greek myth of Icarus in their new, eponymous collection. Using his waxed wings as the inspiration for the Icarus Collection, Jonathan Charles creates opulent interpretations of these feathers through hand-carved wood in a lustrous finish with silver or gold leaf. Using traditional hand-carving techniques, artisans transform wood blocks into delicate wings depicted on table bases achieved through delicate marquetry, where different wood veneers are hand-cut and inlaid in an intersecting pattern to create the illusion of wings in flight.
