Description
These 500 tables are more than just practical places to place a coffee cup or notepad; they're inspired works of art. Esteemed juror Andrew Glasgow has selected a wide array of styles and forms, from pieces that showcase masterful woodwork to ones that feature alternative materials and aesthetic sensibilities. The striking examples include Gord Peteran's end table fashioned from swirling red electrical wire, Boris Bally's small square transit table made of recycled aluminium traffic signs and Stephen Whittlesey's 'Eddy', which uses driftwood, salvaged oak and chestnut. More than 300 artists are featured and every work offers readers stunning craftsmanship, constant surprise and beauty.
