A coffee table constructed using maple, aluminium, concrete, and glass

For this projection, the brief was to design a coffee table using wood and at least one other material. This table was influenced by the Brutalist movement. Titled “S21 Eyes” is constructed from maple, aluminum, glass, and a fiber-reinforced concrete base. This table was designed so all the different aspects and characteristics of the piece can be seen from any point of view in the environment surrounding the object. S21 Eyes was designed to create a balanced sensation across the piece by forcing the negative and positive spaces to benefit from each other.  The floating glass top gives a sense of lightness and elegance to contrast with the heavy base below. This project taught me how to incorporate different materials into a design while maintaining cohesiveness.
