Footnotes
Schultz had originally intended his Petal tables to have a solid flat white appearance, and painted redwood was briefly considered as it came closest to providing both suitability for outdoor use and a generally fine grain amenable to painting. It was not until decades later that, through the use of solid composite materials, Schultz's original intention of solid white petals could be efficiently and uniformly realized.
