Private commission for Julie and John Thornton, Austin, Texas.

To complete the site specific "Smoke Dining Room" for the Thonton's historic Mediterranean Revival house (1915) Maarten Baas and his studio created paneling from Pennsylvanian white oak in a traditional, ‘‘cope and stick’' style of joinery. After the paneling was created it was disassembled, burned and then reinstalled.
