Mirage Cocktail Table

The Mirage Cocktail Table draws inspiration from the jagged edge of a broken shell, echoing fractures that break along its ridges. The table features a reversible coopered base made from solid, air-dried Alder sourced from the Pacific Northwest. The base is crafted from fourteen staves, cut to form an elegant, sloping angle. The glass surface may rest on the small radius of the base, where the hand-carved, mottled texture of the interior subtly glimmers. When the base is flipped, the glass rests on the stave tips, showcasing the carving in full view. In this position, light travels along the texture, creating a shimmering effect reminiscent of a mirage. The shifting length of the staves was designed to create both visual and structural balance; while the curves of the stave tips were derived from the base’s small radius, contributing to a sense of visual harmony and rhythmic chaos.
