With the new pieces, Mills explores of the possibilities of combining the colors and tones of different woods. The seat or top of each piece is made from dark-toned English brown oak or walnut oak and the base from a lighter-toned English oak. Mills incorporated rare woods into the collection \u2013 some up to nine-hundred years old \u2013 and constructed the pieces to showcase the grain structures and unique features of each wood.<\/p>\n
Larger pieces were designed for the smaller living spaces that are typical in Japan. For example, the legs of the dining table are angled inward to minimize the footprint of the base. <\/p>\n
Mills will be present for the exhibition, which offers a rare opportunity to hear the master craftsman’s thoughts about his work and unique wood sources. Please join us for this enlightening experience.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_bullet_list","repeater_bullet_list":[{"bullet_list":"DINING TABLE<\/u>\u3000L190 W100-87 H73cm\uff0fEnglish Brown Oak"},{"bullet_list":"SIDE TABLES<\/u>\u3000L40 W35 H50cm\uff0fEnglish Brown Oak"},{"bullet_list":"BENCH<\/u>\u3000L180 W48-40 H43cm\uff0fEnglish Walnut Oak"},{"bullet_list":"STOOL<\/u>\u3000H52cm\uff0fEnglish Walnut Oak"},{"bullet_list":"And more\u2026"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_images","images_list":[{"acf_fc_layout":"two_column","one":{"first_image":{"ID":27479,"id":27479,"title":"BobbyMills23_5","filename":"BobbyMills23_5.jpg","filesize":277697,"url":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5.jpg","link":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/bobbymills23_5-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"bobbymills23_5-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2023-09-19 09:22:28","modified":"2023-09-19 09:22:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1080,"height":1350,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5-240x300.jpg","medium-width":240,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5-768x960.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":960,"large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5-819x1024.jpg","large-width":819,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5.jpg","1536x1536-width":1080,"1536x1536-height":1350,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_5.jpg","2048x2048-width":1080,"2048x2048-height":1350}},"first_comment":""},"two":{"second_image":{"ID":27480,"id":27480,"title":"BobbyMills23_6","filename":"BobbyMills23_6.jpg","filesize":268138,"url":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6.jpg","link":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/bobbymills23_6-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"bobbymills23_6-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2023-09-19 09:22:30","modified":"2023-09-19 09:22:30","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1080,"height":1417,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6-229x300.jpg","medium-width":229,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6-768x1008.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1008,"large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6-780x1024.jpg","large-width":780,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6.jpg","1536x1536-width":1080,"1536x1536-height":1417,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/BobbyMills23_6.jpg","2048x2048-width":1080,"2048x2048-height":1417}},"second_comment":""}}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_message","message_heading":"","message_text":"
\u201cThis will be my first time in Japan, so this is a very special trip for me. It has always been important to me to build deep and meaningful relationships with my partners and customers, many of whom are now friends. Trees have brought people together for thousands of years. We have built our homes with them, gathered beneath them, found guidance in them, and, for me, they continue to connect me with people in these enduring ways. I see the pieces I create as a part of my being. They carry my artistic voice and come from my soul. To meet those who invest in these pieces, who connect and find resonance with the objects I share in Japan will be wonderful.\u201d\u3000<\/p>\n
