MOVING OFF STRAIGHT LINES

The Manchester-by-the-Sea Historical Museum developed a show focused on Manchester’s furniture building heritage past and present. They asked if I would build a piece for the exhibit. This presented a wonderful opportunity to develop a new design. I felt a bit constrained with the rectilinear form of my recent pieces and want to add some curves into a new table design. After a few iterations I decided on the following. I searched for some grace and lightness. The top will “float” above the apron and the legs will be carved to mimic the top’s curves.
