Falling Circle Side Table

Description

Sometimes how you design affects what you design. This is a good example. Designing in CAD it is easy to project to a plane. Project a line to an angled plane and you get a longer line. Project a square and get a rectangle. Project a circle and you get the Falling Circle Side Table.

Combining metal with wood is something I really like yet haven’t done as much as I wanted to. I stumbled upon both a tube bender and a guy who powder coats small batches with no questions asked. Not being one to ignore good fortune I set out to use both of them to my advantage. This is the result.

Falling Circle stands 21 inches high. The top is nearly 16 inches in diameter. I’ve used Maple Ply for this table; the top is 2 inches thick and the bottom and slanting shelf are 1 inch thick. In a random bit of luck I got a sheet of Maple Ply that has bird's eye. It's quite nice.

All varnished for durability and for its minimum odor.

The tubing is powder coated white as are the bolts holding it all together.

Thanks for looking, Kevin
