The Criss Cross table is a formally constrained object that
uses its geometric conditions to produce a series of hooved forms, that through
the qualities of laminated stone become supple and soft in its overall figure.
The governing geometry is made up of a series of circles, one pure circle at the top, and 4 interesting circles at the base. A ruled surface is produced by connecting each of the intersected base circles to a section of the equally split top circle. This process produces a restrained but equally expressive form. This process produces 4 equal quadrats which are fabricated with a series of laminated stone slabs. The slabs are arranged and selected to emphasize the curvature, once arranged, they are sliced at an inward angle to its form, against the grain of the ruled surface. This tension between the two geometric logics produces a series of anomalies of depth and thickness as the planar geometry of the marble slab is working against the ruled geometry in the polar axis.
