The amoeba coffee table captures the synergies between two cells and translates them by connecting these wooden barks. These barks are then refined, polished and suspended on hand crafted sculpted legs. The composition of the legs are specific to each table, which is what makes it interesting. The intent is to retain much of the natural shape of the bark and not interfere other than treating it with stain and high gloss. The beauty of the table is the assembly, how each bark comes together to form a shape.
