Round 44-Inch Glass-Top Table with Wood Base

About the Item

The glass top of the Chiral T531-44 table rests on a sculptural solid-wood base which itself is an exercise in radial symmetry. The five walnut legs, each with a triangular cross section, lean into and past each other. They are separated from each other by maple wood spacers, and taper at their ends. 44" diameter top 29" high The 1/2" tempered glass top has a beveled edge and is secured to the base The two-tone base is in walnut and maple In the event a piece needs to be made to order, please allow up to 10 weeks for delivery. Feel free to inquire prior to purchasing. All sales are final - no refunds The Story Behind Chiral T531-44 There are so many types of bases for small round tables. One that has always interested me has three legs leaning together, "teepee" style. With this table, I'm exploring the geometry of tables with five legs. When five legs, each with a triangular cross section, are leaned together and join face-to-face, they have a certain tilt angle. I used my high school geometry to develop a model for predicting the tilt angle for joining legs, depending on the number of legs and the angle at the apex where the legs come together. And that model makes all kinds of combinations possible. For the T531 the tilt angle is 37 degrees from vertical. Chiral (pronounced "Kiral") means that the mirror image is not identical to the original, and often is used when describing helixes, whether "right-handed" or "left-handed." The challenge of the Chiral T531 was to find a way to assemble a skewed bundle of five legs. The solution was to add spacers between the legs - in the T531 these show up as maple cylinders between the walnut legs. In the product name, "T" stands for table (or, for tea), "5" for the number of legs, "3" for triangular cross section, "1" for the circular top, and "44" for the diameter of the top.
