Mary Marsh: Hand-crafted Contemporary Furniture | Gallery | Coffee table in English Walnut

The design of this table developed during my first term of life drawing. The six sides of the top reflect the gentle, convex and intersecting curves of the human body and its asymmetry is reminiscent of a person standing with most of their weight on one leg. The original design was for a mirror, however when I bought the wood, I realised that the sweeping curve of the grain was asking to be used as the long sides of a table and perhaps the glass in the centre reflects the original mirror idea.
