Criss Cross Table
The Criss Cross table is a formally constrained object that
produces a series of hooved forms through
the qualities of laminated stone to become supple and soft in its overall figure.
The governing geometry consists of one pure circle defining the table top and four overlapping circles at the base. A ruled surface produced by connecting each of the intersected base circles to a section of the equally split top generates four equal quadrants, each of which are comprised of a series of laminated stone slabs. The specific slabs are arranged to emphasize the curvature of the table and sliced against the grain of the ruled surface. This tension between two geometric logics produces a surprising representation of depth and thickness.
