Tapered Console Table with shelf

The Tapered Leg Console with Shelf began with a question I find myself returning to often in the studio, how do you add genuine usefulness to a piece without allowing function to compromise form? The answer here is the glass shelf, positioned at mid-height within the frame and supported by the same four tapering legs that define the overall design, its transparency preserving the openness of the structure while adding a second surface that is as practical as it is visually interesting. The legs themselves are hand forged and covered in a fine hammered texture that runs their full length, catching the flamed bronze finish with a warmth and complexity that deepens over time as the metal develops its natural patina. The limestone top above is clean and pale, its quiet natural surface a considered counterpoint to the richness of the metalwork, while the toughened glass shelf below keeps the lower half of the piece feeling light and airy rather than heavy. This is a designer console table that works as hard as it looks good.
