About the Item

This unique table is a true collaboration between self-taught postmodern sculptor Curtis Norton and ceramicist Lewis Trimble, blending bold artistic vision with masterful craftsmanship to create a stunning functional artwork. The table features a two-part construction: a nerikomi pottery top paired with a hand-forged stainless steel base. The hollow stoneware top showcases the intricate nerikomi technique, a traditional Japanese pottery method dating back centuries, where different colored clays are carefully layered, sliced, and inlaid to create complex, multicolored patterns within the body of the ceramic. This technique produces richly textured and visually captivating surfaces, exemplifying craftsmanship and artistic precision. To protect this exquisite ceramic artwork, the top is finished with a commercial-grade polyurethane coating, allowing for refinishing if scratched and ensuring long-lasting durability. Supporting this artistic top is a meticulously handcrafted base made from stainless steel. Each stiletto-shaped leg is expertly crafted from four precision-cut, shaped, and welded stainless steel pieces, then ground smooth and polished to a flawless mirror shine. This sleek industrial metalwork provides a striking contrast to the textured ceramic, creating a harmonious balance of texture, color, and form. Curtis Norton, a self-taught artist, embraces postmodernism—a movement characterized by the blending of styles, playful forms, and a break from traditional modernist austerity. His hand-forged metalwork reflects this ethos through its dynamic, sculptural qualities that challenge conventions and celebrate craftsmanship. Lewis Trimble, an acclaimed ceramicist, brings decades of expertise to the table, known for his innovative use of historical techniques like nerikomi combined with contemporary aesthetics. His work honors the traditions of studio pottery while pushing boundaries to create modern, compelling forms rich in texture and color. Together, Norton and Trimble fuse metal and clay, modern industrial fabrication and ancient ceramic artistry, producing a truly exceptional table that stands as both a functional piece of furniture and a bold sculptural statement.
