The same theme, drawn upward. The Aetheron Kithara takes the Petite form — two glasses carried by the stem at the top of a thirty-six inch rise — and gives it the same finish as its companion piece. The spiral is specially processed white oak, bent far past what the material is normally willing to do and finished in deep, unbroken black, so the glasses appear to float free of any visible support. Beneath it, curly maple: the figure blackened into the grain, then covered in a red-leaning burst finished in the spirit of guitar making. At three feet tall on a ten-inch base, it stands well above everything around it while asking for very little room. On a coffee table, a kitchen counter, or the end of a bar, it becomes the tallest thing in view and the first thing anyone looks at. Glassware you would otherwise shut in a cabinet, presented instead. This is the only Aetheron currently finished this way.
