BENDING THE RULES

AN OCCASIONAL TABLE IN STEEL & STAINLESS STEEL

An aficionado of Pablo Picasso, who famously advised aspiring artists to, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist”,  Vancamelbecke gives his own passionate and provocative response in this piece. 

​

In the “Bending The Rules” table, he triumphantly rejects the conventions that dictate our definitions of how a table should look, posing searching questions; What is furniture and what is art? Is there a line between them? If so, is it a straight line?

The elegant engineering concept of the design, which creates a perfectly stable platform using the pure mathematical integrity of a tripod form, is capped with a subtly curved, gloriously reflective top, hand crafted from a single piece of stainless steel. The result is a sculptural piece that generates an almost ethereal atmosphere around itself.

​

The table is designed and produced to remain viable for generations of future owners – a shining and potent challenge to what Vancamelbecke calls, “The disaster of the throw-away mind-set.”
