About the Item

Perhaps lost to antiquity is “The Floating World”. Ancient Persia, China and Egypt, all supported the idea of intoxicating tranquility and relaxation through the boundless beauty of replicating the natural world and stylizing it. The “Hydrotus Console”, is literally a stream of water. The direction of flow is up to the beholder as each end of the Console is finished with a separate detail, neither the beginning of the flow nor the end. Just below the surface are water lilies ready to emerge upon the surface with their fragrant presence. Yew wood is the exotic floral motif with the body made of cerused white oak. One of the four Yew wood lotus flowers has a crack that we advise should not be corrected.

Blackened Bronze & Blue/Black Lacquered "Behepoda" Art Piece Cocktail Table
By Dana Nicholson
Located in New York, NY
The table was in part influenced by Armand Albert Rateau and Eileen Gray. Their influence is evident in this complex piece of many art processes. Sketched while listening to Bjork’s song “Bachelorette”, (which has absolutely nothing to do with the show or dating), the table is dark and pays homage to the cephalopods of the deep and the corals near the surface, while octopus’ suckers or coral polyps break the surface. Comprised of custom cast and blacken bronze of great weight supporting an ultra-thin and hollow surface of a moonlit blue...
