LLANO — Lou Quallenberg created a unique mesquite coffee table that won the Texas Style Category at the Ninth Annual Texas Furniture Makers Show in Kerrville Nov. 1.
A reception and award ceremony was held later that night.
The show began Oct. 23 and runs through Dec. 6 at the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center.
This is a juried show, and there were 65 pieces of furniture accepted this year.
The table is unusual because of its large size, sculpted holes and open spaces. The table made its debut at the Western Design Conference in Jackson Hole, Wy., in September along with a sister piece.
The two pieces are called sisters because they came from the same tree and are displayed together at the show with an almost yin and yang-like effect.
While the pieces were judged and are priced individually, the artist hopes they find a home together.
