The Industrialist Table



“Everything great in science and art is simple.  What can be less complicated than the greatest discoveries of humanity”, Jules Verne.  What is the basic idea for a chair or a table? What are they used for?  A basic concept that has evolved over the centuries, for many different uses, a design reused and developed for the time.  Awhile ago in a class students were asked to create their own idea, and take the ideas further than a drawing.  One idea stayed within my mind after that class, a design that’s not only aesthetically attractive, but also having a multitude of uses and inspirations.  Then I came to think of the past, structures and objects I’ve once seen in old films and books such as “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” and “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”, such designs that fell under the category of industrial and steam punk.
