American John Pomp has created a coffee table with a glass top and chunky steel legs, designed to resemble a “suspended” body of water.
Pomp, who is based in Philadelphia, created the Tidal Rectangular Cocktail Table with a hand-poured crystal clear glass top in an oval shape with curved edges.
The top rests on two L-shaped designs that also have rounded corners but are made of hand-forged steel.
Pomp said he referenced water and ocean tides when creating the design.
“My passion for the ocean and its beautifully fluid nature is also found in my love for molten glass,” he told Dezeen, adding that he is an avid surfer.
“I was inspired by the relationship between the ocean and moon, and I wanted this piece to highlight the soft curves and flowing lines found in the ripples of an ocean tide,” he said. “It embodies a puddle of water suspended in a moment of time.”
Creating the piece was a challenge for Pomp, and he and his team spent two years researching and developing the design. Kilns were custom made to create to finished product.
