One year ago this week, Phil and I walked into Taracea's showroom at High Point Market with our friend Stuart Wilkins, who owned Seville Home before us, and couldn't walk past it. A coffee table with every growth ring showing. A chess table. A pool table. And the Vela, Rasttro's ping pong dining table, the one Don Julian fell for on our floor earlier this month.
Two of them came home with us: Taracea's Mara coffee table, in ochre guanacaste and sand American oak, and the Vela. We placed the order before the day was out.
Since 1995, Taracea has cultivated and managed its own tree plantations to replenish the wood it uses. The Mara is on our floor in Leawood now, and you can order Taracea and Rasttro pieces through us. 📍 5205 W 135th St, Leawood
