Part of a series of sculpture-like furniture, the table has a hefty silhouette that creates the illusion of weight. However, the object is made from several sheets of aluminum. The designer used traditional methods to build the table by hand. Carefully shaped and then fitted and welded on the edges to create a watertight form, the aluminum sheets highlight the mass and shape of the piece of furniture. The coffee table boasts three massive legs with both curved and angular sides. A slightly irregular edge across the oval top and a raw aluminum texture give the design a distinctive look. At the same time, these details accentuate the handmade nature of the object.
