N3 Coffee Table

A propeller uses spinning blades to convert rotational motion into thrust, propelling an object forward. The design for the N3 table springs from this nexus of dynamism and stability.
The legs of the table extend vertically, twisting and tapering outward as they rise up to support the glass top. This tripod form contacts the ground at three points, ensuring that the table remains stable, no matter how uneven the ground.
The N-series uses rotational symmetry to explore the relationship between organic form and negative space. The pieces are fabricated by means of a stacked-lamination process, then sculpted by hand to achieve their final shape. Through careful attention to engineering, the wood becomes essentially a plastic medium, capable of taking on highly intricate, eccentric forms, without compromising its strength or stability.
The wood is walnut, finished with a satin lacquer. The 48" round glass top is tempered with polished edges.
