Junkture Table by Beth Fuller
pixeleye, 00:20h
The Junkture Table makes a resounding statement: beautiful things can be made from junk. The table's centerpiece, a magnesium wheel rim, comes straight from the streets of New York City. Rescued from the junkyard, the rim served as inspiration for the Junkture Table. Urban junk becomes urban chic.
The table's visual impact is striking due to its unique proportions and inherent optical illusions. Black glass frames the rim, masking the underlying steel support and making the table appear to float. The rim hovers several inches off the ground, and mesmerizing shadows are cast below. Opaque glass reflects the ceiling above, literally turning the world upside down. The Junkture Table is designed with sustainability in mind. All materials are locally sourced, reclaimed,
99% recycled and/or 100% recyclable.
The Junkture Table is a stunning example of beautiful junk. What's beautiful in your junkyard?
