The Cass table is a minimalist table celebrating the material of the table top. It grew from a desire to create a large table for a small space. The first generation is a dining table seating six, built with salvaged wood from a barn in Chelsea, Michigan. The steel frame clutches the wood table top, and the steel caps are detailed with reclaimed bolts. The second generation - Cass table II - is a retail scaled version, on display/in use at retail design store, Nora, in Midtown, Detroit. The table top is built of reclaimed Douglas Fir, with a whitewash finish.

The L'Arramee swing is the first Laavu's 'public' object, our effort to allow more folks access to our line of Objects. It was inspired by the solitude, the natural environment, and our longing to sit and enjoy one of most beautiful green-spaces in Detroit, used mostly as a thouroughfare, the Dequindre Cut. The sail captures wind, and creates a peaceful ‘whoosh’ sound, when activated.
