This Sterling Coffee Table from CB2 Embraces Simplistic Design Ideals
Jana Pijak — June 3, 2014 — Art & Design
A refined metal design graces the sterling coffee table from home design retailer CB2. The minimalist furniture piece is a great addition to modern condo or loft spaces that are in need of a neutral accent piece.
The metallic table features a linear design that is accented with angular legs. Though linear, the table boasts an organic texture that is reminiscent of melted metal and definitive of its complex construction process.
CB2's sterling coffee table design is made using sandcast aluminum materials. "In a time-intensive process that shows the mark of a metalsmith, molten metal is hand-poured into a sand mold, creating a subtly rippled surface." After construction, the piece is hand-polished with a mirrored finish that reflects light and shadow when displayed within one's living space.
