A shape often explored in the past, the hourglass offers both tension and balance. Seen from above it also appears to be a weightless disc floating above ground and as one sits and lowers its sight-line, the base and connecting points are revealed.
Taking on from this, two hourglasses of different diameters were merged to form a coffee table with the desired dimensions. Carved out of a single block, the table offers continuity of veins, rhythm and ever changing shapes as one turns around it.
