{"product_id":"blue-contour-island-timber-and-resin-round-table-85cm","title":"Blue Contour Island Timber \u0026 Resin Round Table - 85cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round table whose level top is clear blue resin over a landscape of stepped boards. Honey-coloured terraces step down from the rim on one side into a deep trench through the middle, where the blue darkens almost to grey, and a single small pale island rises from the shallows to one side, ringed by steps of its own. Below the top the drum is pale, and its underside is cut away into uneven, stepped contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eContour Steps Under a Level Blue Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top is dead flat and the ground beneath it is anything but. Each terrace is the edge of one board, so the slopes read as contour lines, packed close where the ground drops steeply into the trench and spaced wide where it levels out towards the rim. The blue is bright and pale over the shallow steps and deepens as they fall away, until the floor of the trench reads as dark water a long way down. The island is a pale oval standing alone in open blue, with tight rings around it. At one point the resin breaks out through the side of the drum, so the stepped edges can be read in section as well as from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a coffee table it takes the centre of a sofa group, low enough that everyone around it looks straight down onto the landscape in its top. It seats nothing and carries everything: the surface is flat, level and generous. The drum curves in at its foot, which suits a close arrangement of chairs. Overhead light shows the top at its best and makes the steps read through the blue; low side light picks out the stepped underside instead. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Far the Island Rises, and How Deep the Blue Runs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. The timber sets the pace. Three questions decide the object. How high the island stands: breaking the surface as here reads as land, stopping short of it reads as a shoal seen through water, and going well above it reads as a rock. The step spacing, which is what gives the contour lines their rhythm, from these close rings to a few broad terraces. And the blue, which can be this deep marine, a green lagoon, or a grey that reads as slate rather than water. Diameter and height are made to order. One crate on a pallet, and two people to lift a disc of this weight.
