Contemporary Bronze Cast Cube Side Table On Sculptural Legs

The Manhattan cube is a deceptively simple side table, created by artist-designer Margit Wittig.It replicates a shape which Margit is fond of and has previously used in lighting on a smaller scale, a slightly imperfect cuboid.‘The designing of the new side table felt like a natural progression in my range ofproducts. An aesthetically pleasing and functional table, using concepts and materials from my other products, I came up with creating this simple design to serve as an occasional table which is a sculptural feature. My signature can be seen in this intricately crafted design and its applied texture.’Margit starts by building a clay model on 1:1 scale and once the overall shape is finished, the texture with pieces of bark from a tree and rough textured stones gets applied. Choosing the material to cast in depends on the functionality of the object. This occasional table or seat is cast in bronze.The result is a beautifully tactile cuboid that can be seen as an art piece yet has a clever duality of purpose.Working from her studio in London, Margit takes commissions for her individual tablesand creates bespoke contemporary lighting and furniture working in limited editions for collectors worldwide.Suitable for outdoor use.
