This coffee table features three simplified objects; a large rectangle plane supported by two legs, each object oriented in a competing XYZ plane.
One leg is a solid concrete obelisk, cast to include a large dish at the top. The other leg is a single plane of dark walnut to contrast the white oak table surface.
The concrete leg of the coffee table also functions as a candle holder, with a dish cast into the top to hold large candles and protect the tabletop by catching melted wax. The concrete was sealed with beeswax to enhance and texture of the concrete and provide a light warmth to match.
In addition, small pockets were cast into the concrete, serving as functional handles for ease of moving the 75-pound solid concrete form. These pockets also provide a subtle organic touch to the overall strictly orthographic coffee table.
