Intrigued by the raw aesthetic of industrial materials, Ward Bennett created the original prototype for his I Beam Table (1963) by cutting a section off an actual steel I-beam, which he went on to use in his own Manhattan apartment for decades. It remains an eye-catching icon of modern design to this day, now crafted of powder-coated aluminum. Bennett's diverse works reside in the permanent collections of the Cooper Hewitt and MoMA, among others. Crafted in North Carolina by skilled artisans using globally sourced materials.
