Bronze Abstract Console Table

The Abstract Console is a piece that owes nothing to the traditions of furniture design and everything to the language of modern sculpture, a work that begins with mass and volume rather than line and leg, and arrives at a form of such architectural conviction that it feels as though it has been lifted directly from the plinth of a gallery and put to work in an interior. A solid rectangular column rises from the floor with the quiet authority of a monolith, its broad flat faces finished in flamed bronze, warm, complex and deeply rich, before being met at table height by a horizontal crossbar of equal mass that extends far beyond the column on both sides, the whole composition forming a bold cruciform that references the brutalist architecture of the mid-twentieth century and the totemic forms of Constantin Brâncuși in equal measure. The glass top sits above this extraordinary base with complete transparency, allowing the full sculptural drama of the bronzework to remain visible from every angle and ensuring that the piece is as much about what you see through it as what you see upon it. The flamed bronze finish deepens and develops with age, the broad flat surfaces catching the light with a mellow, shifting warmth that gives the geometric forms an unexpected sensuality.
