Poplar Low Coffee Table

The story behind

The Poplar Low Coffee Table are a reflection around human visual perception of Nature, a play with the process by which the physical energy received by sense organs forms the basis of perceptual experience.

In reality, the tabletop is made of two specular Burled Poplar wood planks with live edges, encased and joined in a transparent resin like, two almost specular organic shapes that extend without touching, supported by four regular transparent pillars that pierce and support them in an apparently inexplicable way.

The Burled Poplar is the wood in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner, but it is absolutely natural, however unusual.

The human eye knows it when it sees it in the dashboards of luxury cars, but generally does not know the full external appearance of this rare wood with its amazing live edges.
It’s anything but average. The swirls, twirls, and eyes dancing in the bark all create a unique, highly figured grain that no human could dream of designing, but it is in effect a real wood of our planet.
