somber, designed to support quiet moments. featuring a purple heart base and a precisely milledsteel top with a channel cut from edge to center, allowing wine glasses to hang securely. built using both hand tools and precision milling, the table balances warm materiality with clean geometry.
IDEATION
The iteration process centered on symmetry and finding a precise point of balance—exploring how subtle lines and gentle curves could create a functional feature for storing wine glasses without disrupting the table’s visual harmony.
FABRICATION PROCESS:
-
MILLING
the metal top of Somber begins to take shape on the mill, defining the clean geometry that anchors the design.
-
GRINDING
each weld is carefully ground smooth, blending the joinery into the surface to preserve the table’s clean, seamless aesthetic.
-
FINISHED
wine glasses rest in the tabletop’s slit, blending function and form in a moment of understated elegance.
