The Mitosis Table captures the motion of cell division in a larger than life, stop-action form. This sculptural cocktail talbe was created from industrial joist beams made of sustainably forested laminated wood. These beams were chosen for their rich texture and then sculpted through inspiration into the final form by Aaron R. Thomas. This table measures 72" X 21" X 18" and weighs almost 600lbs while maintaining a visual lightness and unobtrusive presence. The translucent white clear coat adds to the subtlety of the texture while protecting this piece for years to come.
The Mitosis Table was created from industrial joist beams made of sustainably forested laminated wood. These beams were then laminated together into a solid block and sculpted into the final form by Aaron R. Thomas. After weeks of working out every curve and straight line the piece was sanded to a smooth finish and then painted with a translucent white to allow the natural beauty of the manufactured wood show through. Finally, the entire piece was coated with an industrial strength clear coat which serves as a both a sealant and protectant making this piece not only waterproof, but durable for years to come.
