Evolution.
As it names suggests this table evolved from its predecessor The Last Supper. The pick up stick style base is created from 100mm UC Sections and quite complex given the many compound angles of the design. Add to that the center knot is spliced together and then re-welded to form a one piece of steel.
The solid timber top made of spotted gum along with its unique steel breadboard ends adds another level of complexity to the design. A functional part of the top it prevents the timber from cupping across the grain while allowing the natural timber to expand and contract. The top was required to partly support itself as the base has only four connection points and no sub-structure.
Evolution resides in an architectural firm next to its adopted brother Gargantuan.
