Tourbillon
A pedestal table for grand hallways, carved from stack-laminated solid sycamore wood.
The swirling texture of the carved, scorched and burnished base flows seemlessly into the underside of the table top. The vortex-like movement is echoed by the more subtle curved texture carved into the lightened top.
The monochrome contrast of the dark base and pale top, with varying scales of texture, invite the viewer to explore the piece with their hands, to travel the contours of the twisting form.
