Where rustic meets runway.
For this high-end salon, Thairapy on El Paseo, in Palm Desert, CA the vision was clear: blend natural textures with the shimmer of metallics. The result? A stunning faux live edge bar top that mimics the richness of real wood grain—with a bold, modern twist.
This install adds instant character to the space, combining the warmth of nature with a touch of industrial glam. It’s proof that epoxy can do more than imitate—it can elevate.
