CRACKED EARTH COFFEE TABLE
The coffee table was inspired by the striking clay pan floor of Deadvlei, Namibia. Its top is a marquetry of oak oysters, the end grain of an oak tree, where the growth rings reveal the tree’s history. Between the cracks of the clay pan-inspired surface, a polished bronze inlay flows seamlessly below the surface.
The shaped edges are laminated oak veneer, creating a chevron-style pattern, and polished bronze legs pass through a cluster of laminated oak forms, each one individually hand-shaped to mirror the soft, eroded contours of the top.
