TABLES

Tables for me are fun there is so much that can be done to express ideas in a table form. The degree to which a table functions depends upon what it is being used for, providing that there is a flat surface to do something on the rest can be pure creative or technical indulgence. The following are some of the different  Occasional, nesting, dining, boardroom, sofa, garden, display, work tables created, some one off and others a popular favorite.

TADLEY GATES

Occasional table. Designed to explore the idea of ambiguous function and form. the powder coated aluminum rods look as though they pierce through the boxes, exploration of the table reveals drawers that open either ends. The table is made in solid sycamore. The drawer boxes are joined with decorative lapped finger joints.

JAKOB KRAMER

HOBSONS JOISTS

This Occasional table is made in heart Rimu and Matai which was rescued from a warehouse on Hobson's wharf before development took place building the Americas cup village.

M D Man

Side table designed in response to a brief that stated 'close inspection must create curiosity'. This was achieved by using an "impossible" dovetailed bridle joint. how can this be made and assembled as it is dovetailed in all three planes? Made in Jarrah and Birds Eye Maple veneered onto a plywood core underside ends of which are tapered to expose the ply laminations.

ELSYIUM TABLE

Dining table designed for a yachtie who was creating a nautical feel throughout his home. The table form was inspired by yacht masts and rigging, a theme which continued to the base resembling a caulked deck. The top of the mast features a marquetry compass rose made from a timber specie found in each continent. the mast and stem are Tawa and Jarrah.

EMMERDALE

SPIDER TABLE

Dining table which was inspired by the Star wars table designed by Fred Baier in Birmingham museum. The design has continued to evolve into its present form. Made from two black lacquered laminated legs joined with a Limed Oak panels and central boss. The form has an animated air and when a glass top is used it gives a very light but striking presence.

SNAPPER Range: Tables

The snapper range of furniture is a coordinated range of designs expressing a simplicity of form and construction. A fluid curve machined from solid timber acts as the transition between the horizontal and vertical surfaces creating a flowing softness of line. The solid timber corners and thick plywood surfaces retain an honesty in construction by exposing the decorative ply laminations and end grain timber. The form can be made into the following figurations: Occasional Tables, Nests of tables, Side Tables, Dining Tables, Stool, Bench, Writing Desk, Office Desk, Computer desk, Desk pedestal with drawers or doors.
