Atlas Table

In silent homage to the Titan who propped up the globe, Atlas dutifully offers up its sturdy shoulders, cheerfully accepting the daily burdens of domestic life.

Solid oak blocks are cut, hewn, laminated, machined, and polished to create elemental forms derived from vertebrates. Resembling a spinal column in repose, these blocks stack, located by polished spheres, to bear the weight of the table’s disc-shaped upper surface.

Finely machined bearings permit the tabletop’s fluid, zoomorphic movement, remaking the mechanics which guide the head. Reclining, crouched patiently beside the sofa, the attendant slumbers until called into service.

In silent homage to the Titan who propped up the globe, Atlas accepts the daily burdens of domestic life - dutifully offering up surfaces to live with, lie with, kneel at, and place objects upon.
