Center table 40.5” diameter and 30.5” high.

A Center Table

“Convergence”

We designed this table to function as a center table while creating an Abstract Expressionistic sculpture reminiscent of the works of Mark di Suvero and David Smith as well as some of the paintings of William di Koonig. The use of the contrasting colored woods represent paint colors used by painters of the period; while the silver leaf represents the aluminum so often associated with Abstract Expressionistic sculptures of the period. The use of “Old Stock” exotic imported woods in the construction of the piece in combination with the use of Richlite Black Diamond and the Plyboo panels and that all of the power for our shop is supplied by photovoltaic cell (Solar) panels. These facts all contribute to this piece qualifying for Leed Platinum Building Practices, Green Practices, and Best Practices.
