megalith table series by duffy london kindled by film classic 2001: a space odyssey
duffy london has created a series of tables that mislead eyes to question how gravity works. the ‘megalith’ series comes in both coffee and dining table sizes, and the monolithic design takes its shape from ‘the sentinel’, a book by arthur c. clarke that went to be made into a cult classic film 2001: a space odyssey, directed by stanley kubrick. the glass table top balances above toppling monoliths, which appear frozen in a permanent state of imminent collapse.

Beautiful piece.
I hate being the nit-picker, but the solid walnut ones will split and fall apart due to the cross grain lamination. Wood moves in 2 directions … so large cross grain glue joints always crack and fail. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
