Contemporary table OVERFLOW

glassrectangularby Studio Nendo

This piece derives from the unique forms created when the free-flowing glass liquid hardens in place. The glass masters place plate glass into a frame with one section missing, progressively heat the glass until it becomes molten, and allow the molten glass to drain from the void in the form. When they permit the glass to harden again, the edge responds to surface tension, creating a table with a surface that looks like a pool of water.
