SALVADOR SIDE TABLE BY TOAD
£0.00

Contemporary bespoke edition, designed by Piers van Til for Toad.

Blurring the distinction between the real and the imagined, a side table inspired by the illusory work of Salvador Dalí. The form challenging the viewers' perceptions of reality in order to see beyond the surface. From certain angles the table seemingly gives the dynamic impression of leaning, of crouching, achieving an impossible state of balance. This possibility is actualised with a very stable and composed form of solid construction and graphically chic outline. Encourageable as a matching pair. Seen here in antique silver and patinated bronze finishes.

Handmade by artisans - available to order. Lead time: 8 weeks

Dimensions: H65cm

ILLUMINATI BY TOAD
£0.00

Contemporary bespoke edition, designed by Piers van Til for Toad.

A bespoke hand made sculptural lamp carved out of stone, Illuminati embraces the use of translucent onyx with natural soft veining to produce an ambient sculpture that illuminates from within. The beauty of unconstrained natural stone with inclusions is revealed through ambient light encased in a simplified Ionic form. Natural stone has a life of its own, there is movement, variegation, depth and colour; when light permeates its translucency this allows these beautiful formations to be revealed. A bespoke product reacting to light in its own way - every Illuminati is totally unique.

Available in both large and small table top form or as floor standing, Illuminati is an appreciation of nature unconstrained.
