The top is a free-form disc of clear cast resin, its outline lobed and irregular and its rim worked in fine concentric ripples that run a short way inward before the surface levels off. The centre of the top is mottled with soft grey and olive drifts. Below it stands a plain rectangular column of brushed brass, set off-centre so the top overhangs it far more on one side than the other. A small brass disc sits loose on the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Off-Centre Column Under a Free-Form Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe table gets its balance from a deliberate imbalance. The column is a plain brass box with four flat faces, no taper and no foot, and it is placed to one side of the top's centre, so from the front the top reaches well out past it on the other side. That reads as precarious and is not: the top is thick and the column broad enough in plan to hold it. The two materials then behave in opposite ways. The brass is opaque, brushed in one direction, and graded from a dark bronze at its head to a pale greenish gold at the floor. The resin above is clear at the rim, where the concentric ripples catch a bright line all the way round the lobed outline, and clouded in the middle, where grey and olive drifts sit within the thickness. The brass disc on the surface is a separate piece and repeats the column's finish at a small scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 48cm this is a tall side table, level with a sofa arm, and the overhang means it can be pushed close to a chair with the column standing clear of a foot. The top is level across its middle and takes a glass, a cup or a small book; the rippled rim is not a level surface. It reads best from the side that carries the overhang, so it wants to be placed with its long reach into the room rather than against a wall. A dark floor makes the brass column the whole object; a pale one lets the clear top separate from it. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Outline of the Top, and Where the Column Stands Under It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The outline of the top is drawn for each table, from this lobed free form through to a plain oval or a rounded rectangle. Where the column stands under it is the second decision and the one that changes the piece most: off-centre as here gives the overhang, and centred gives a symmetrical pedestal table that reads quite differently. Then the brass, which can be this brushed and graded finish, a plain satin, a polished mirror, or a blackened steel instead. The loose disc can be supplied or left off. Top outline and column height are each specified. Top and column come in one crate and go together on site.
