A Penny For Your Thoughts Side Table

A Penny For Your Thoughts Side Table pairs raw copper with welded steel for an elegant and honest piece of design. The powder-coated steel body is pierced by 5/8" thick solid copper rods, left exposed on the top shelf almost like inlaid pennies. These rods support the weight of the steel, creating a strong surface throughout without sacrificing the visual lightness of the 1/8" steel sheet. The powder-coating combines the natural green and red hues of copper that have an almost chameleon-like effect depending on how the light hits it. There is an integrated copper salt well inset in the piece, though jewelry or small objects work just wellMicah Rosenblatt is a Brooklyn-based designer and metalworker.
