NicNat Design Studio
Artisan Epoxy & Live Edge Masterpieces
Where nature's raw beauty meets flawless craftsmanship. Elevate your space with our bespoke furniture creations, handcrafted for those who demand extraordinary design.
Our NicNat Design Studio Heritage
Founded by master woodworker Nicholas Gassaway and his wife, design enthusiast Natasha Gassaway, NicNat Design Studio brings together traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. For over 5 years, we've transformed rare, character-rich wood into functional art pieces that become the centerpiece of luxury spaces.
Our small team of artisans works from our studio in North Texas and Phoenix, AZ, where we source sustainable hardwoods and develop proprietary epoxy techniques that have set the standard in the industry.
Our Signature Styles
River Tables
Our iconic design features flowing epoxy channels in vivid blues, teals, and golds that capture the essence of natural waterways between live edge wood. With the option to incorporate LED lighting systems that transform the table at night.
Geometric Inlay
Precision-cut stone, metal, and contrasting wood varieties create stunning geometric patterns within our furniture. We specialize in brass detailing that catches light and adds sophistication to minimalist designs.
Sculptural Bases
Our signature bases move beyond conventional supports to become sculptural elements, using bent wood techniques, hand-forged metals, and innovative concrete forms that complement the organic tabletops.
Custom Design Process
Conceptualization
After an initial consultation, we develop detailed sketches and 3D renderings that bring your vision to life, allowing for refinement before construction begins.
Material Selection
Visit our wood library to personally select from rare slabs with distinctive grain patterns, burls, and natural features that will make your piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Artisan Crafting
Our master craftsmen spend 80-200 hours handcrafting each piece, documenting the process for you to witness the transformation of raw materials.
White Glove Delivery
Our specialized delivery team handles placement and final adjustments in your space, ensuring perfect integration with your interior design.

Care & Maintenance
Daily Care
Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature changes that could affect the epoxy or wood.
Quarterly Maintenance
Apply our signature wood conditioner (provided with purchase) using the enclosed microfiber cloth. This preserves the natural luster and protective finish.
Annual Service
Our artisans offer in-home annual maintenance visits to address any minor wear and refresh your piece to its original glory, available to all clients.
