BASE TABLE

Architecture becomes furniture with this dining table by Studio Collins Weir. The design investigates the idea of using furnishings to define space and movement within a room. The gaps in the metal base draw the eye through the piece as if walking through a doorway. The bevel of the bleached oak tabletop expresses the nature of solid wood as opposed to veneer, maximizing its visual potential. Marks of the hand can be seen throughout, for example in the hand-applied and -worked pewter finish on the base.
