Gargantuan.
[gahr-gan-choo-uh n].
adjective: gigantic; enormous; colossal: a gargantuan task.
Dimensions: 4M x 1.8M x 750mm
Weight: 500Kgs (estimated)
Materials: Solid spotted gum & steel.
It took an incredible amount of time and commitment to create Gargantuan. To achieve the uninterrupted clear span of spotted gum above the pedestal base required many hours of sketches, failed attempts and on the fly engineering. A special mention to my great friend Pietro Casati of Gonzlab Engineering who assisted with some eleventh hour design, fabrication & architectonics of which without this table would not have succeeded.
As the weight of this table is so immense, coupled with the fact its eventual home was to be on the first floor it was designed and fabricated in smaller pieces to allow assembly on site.
However the solid timber top could be only separated into essentially two components. This made for a challenging install up two flights of stairs to its new home.
Gargantuan resides in an architectural firm next to its adopted brother Evolution.
