About the Item

Title: Brooklyn-Barcelona Table Year: 2013 The Brooklyn-Barcelona console table is a graceful merger of styles and continents. The under-arch is designed to evoke the iconic cabling of the Brooklyn Bridge and the negative space it creates is in the shape of a parabolic arch - - a mainstay of Antoni Gaudí's architecture in Barcelona. Masterfully constructed entirely in half-inch copper tubing and finished with polished marble. The table has been featured in Architectural Digest (German-language edition), The New York Observer, Luxe Interiors + Design, and Core77. "The Brooklyn-Barcelona Console table would sit as well in a rock star's loft as a socialite's salon." - New York Observer. _________________ ABOUT THE ARTIST: A self-taught artist, TJ Volonis’ creative work incorporates a wide variety of themes: human biological processes, the natural world and man's relationship to it, hidden systems, technology and contemporary culture, and the implicit balance between order and chaos, among others.
