The Crucifix: Handcrafted, right down to each bolt.
This is one of those creations with so much detail that it takes a few viewings to let it all sink in.
A commission from two businesses who share the same space. The brief required a table large enough for eight people to work around and house eight monitors. It required foot rests and personal storage areas for each person. Plus, it needed to be somewhat transportable for it’s future home was on level four of a Sydney building.
Easy.
It was decided that a pedestal style base would be best for functionality, allowing the most uninterrupted leg room, however, stability and tabletop ‘wobble’ is always a concern with these bases so angled struts were engineered to solve this. They came in the form of turnbuckles which enable individual adjusting of the legs and ‘winged’ timber cantilevers which connected via a glazing inspired patch fitting.
With over 70 individual handmade components in the base alone The Crucifix certainly has earned it status as one of our most detailed and labour intensive tables to date.
