Table Slab Single Piece Elm Sculpture

About the Item

- Sculptural table using the natural characteristics and form of the elm as the inspiration to create furniture that transcends purpose into organic art. - The patina and wear that have developed with time add to the raw, organic character of this table creating an honest naive expression where nothing has been added. -In the manner of George Nakashima the emphasis is on the best use of a beautiful piece of wood and using its natural form, figuring and colour to create of timeless pieces of simplicity, pure lines and sensitive proportions. "When I'm making something out of a piece of wood, I have a long dialogue with it, sometimes for years," Nakashima said in a 1979 interview. "I have to find my own relationship with the spirit of a tree, and pretty soon, the wood evolves as a form." -This table is the perfect height for sofas and armchairs. A single piece, 'slab', elm coffee or low table. The one piece 'slab' top with beautiful figuring, knots, fissures and bows. The figuring continuing through the canted, naturally contoured edges. Standing on stick legs. Maker unknown Private collection, United Kingdom with a pair of similar tables length 74cm., 29" depth 33cm., 13" height 40cm., 15 3/4" top thickness 3 cm., 1 1/4".
