'EO1' Maquette

(Sorry, not quite sure whats going on with the formatting here.)
Continuing the development of the 'EO1' extending coffee table, which i have been charting on the blog, with a half scale maquette. The Red section acts as a lift out tray and extending peice and the large section raw birch ply edge will be seen in the final version. I am going to make the walnut legs slightly longer to give the 'slab' a bit more air and also taper them to a thinner section at the bottom. I like how the asymmetrical pieces really throw the eye, making the surface look undulated. Also, the personality feels good; it avoids being too cute when 'closed' because of the greyish blue and its almost a little angry with the red insert. (The images are huge, so click if you feel like taking a closer look)

  1. Like it... Love the over-head shot of it. Shows the unmatchingness of the shapes.
