A thousand pounds balanced on the head of a pin? The concept alone defies gravity… yet, leave it to JOHNHOUSHMAND to defy gravity.

Table No. 0103.9 was commissioned for a family in the Bahamas. They were enchanted by the sleek elegance and cool touch of the aluminum, but wanted the elegant live edge “curtain legs” of No. 0103.4 on an 8-foot dining table. Baffling to think of that much weight from a colossal slab bearing down on such slim legs.

Quite a balancing act! Like a graceful ballerina, she stands en pointe on live edge, black walnut curtain legs. Although, delicate in appearance the cascading, high character curtain legs support the abundant weight of the cast aluminum slab on the tips of the refined live edge. Strong and beautiful, this piece will be cherished in it’s new home in the tropics.

Stay tuned to see what magic we can whip up next…oh, also…it really only weighs 400 pounds.
