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".
