Natural Geometry table, 2025

Douglas fir

2400 x 830 x mm

This project explores the tension between geometry and nature through the construction from two slabs of two inch thick fir - the top is a single piece of wood, the ends carefully cut to be very straight, and the long edges left in their natural state. The "tension between the geometry and the natural" - this idea, which I have had since visiting Donald Judd's studio in Marfa in the 1990s, is also influenced by the concepts of "chance vs intention".

Simon Aldridge

Born in London in 1974, Simon Aldridge is an artist, architect, and designer. After earning a BSc degree from London’s Bartlett School, he won a Kennedy Scholarship to Harvard where he studied art and architecture. It was at Harvard’s Carpenter Center, designed and established by Le Corbusier, that he was taught to think of art and design together. His inter-disciplinary practice today merges these theories with contemporary post-conceptual culture.
