Cubed Coffee Table

*Abstract Model

This table works as a matrix of wooden cubes set supported by four cross-shaped legs. The table acts as a pedestal for a pane of glass or it acts on its own. Some of the cubes are missing to create the illusion of decay.

Bottle Coffee Table

*Abstract Model

This table is a product of recyclable materi-als. Using old mason jars and other storage jars, the table comes together by a hexago-nal metal band that wraps around the edges of the bottles. The bottles play the role of reclection, refraction, and transpar-ency. a sealant is used between the bottles to support the weight of the bottles and the live loads on its surface.

The discs are held together tightly through the use of clamps on the edges of the discs. the lantern is held from the ceiling by a strong cable that carries the electrical wiring for each of the bulbs.
