Beating Wings Contemporary Sculptural Coffee Table in Cherry by David Tragen
About the Item
Beating Wings, marked a conscious move into a more sculptural line of work, fusing geometry with organic forms. This limited edition coffee table was the first piece in the Strata series, which is based on using multiple layers to create a sense of movement and the handmade table conjures up different images with every angle it’s viewed from. The idea was inspired by the beating of a dragonfly’s wings and the shape comes from breaking down the phases of motion during the wing cycle. Just under one hundred pieces of solid timber are carefully jointed together to create this collectable piece.
This piece had me excited and tense in equal amounts over the weeks that the first piece was made. It was a complex exercise in making but the results were very rewarding and since then it has encouraged me to keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
The design can also be made as a dining table as well as in other sizes and timbers on request. The 10mm thick, toughened glass top comes as standard although a low iron version can also be commissioned on request.

David Tragen
I am a British designer and artist creating original, contemporary furniture, wall art and sculpture. I make both open and limited edition pieces to my own design, as well as working closely with clients on bespoke commissions. I work from a converted barn in rural Cheshire and all my designs are made to order, ensuring that whether you choose a piece from my existing collection, or commission something wholly unique, it will have been created for you, by me, with intense focus and attention to detail. I believe that by introducing beautiful things to the home, whether furniture or art, offers benefits that far exceed the aesthetics. The poet John Keats said: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Owning something that makes your heart leap a little at every sight, bringing a future heirloom into your home, is an eternal pleasure. I find my inspiration primarily in the natural world and regularly use themes of movement and flow, characterised by clean lines and gently undulating curves. My work is predominantly handmade and blends traditional craftsmanship with digital design and production. My creative journey began in Barcelona in 1996, where I originally trained before returning to the UK, in 2002, to gain two further years’ experience in two of the country’s leading fine furniture workshops. Here I learned the precision and attention to detail that characterises the work of the best names in luxury, bespoke cabinetry, from Thomas Chippendale to David Linley.
Customised sizes and timbers can be requested. Low iron glass can also be commissioned.
