The [S] Table was created as a site-specific piece. However, it may exist in any social context as a “third wheel” of sorts. Its formal expression is created via two parts that interact together to create a stable eating/working surface and is intended to evoke conversation and provide various zones of interaction between users. Therefore, the overall size and materiality are adaptable to any setting, making it secondary to its overall form and spirit. In this instance, white oak was chosen to create a balance between the raised wood platform and the slate floor of the apartment. The table acts like a hinge, bridging the surrounding functional zones, one to the next. Its tongue and groove assembly of overlapping joinery at the two ends celebrates the end grain of wood while also providing for greater lateral stability. The linear cutouts provide a sense of lightness, placing no emphasis on any one particular surface. Once the Glass Top is placed atop the wood base, the usable surface increases allowing it to function more formally.
