I WANT this... or I need to date guy who can build stuff...





The journey from the suburbs to the city has a way of flipping your world upside down. This table shows several dynamic views of the skyline from extreme perspectives allowing viewers to see the urban landscape in ways they have never seen before. Direct lighting from above reveals amazing skyline shadows on the ground below the table. The squares of color and patterns provide a visual map of the city that lives below the surface.

Each block was intricately cut on a band saw and glued together into rows. Next, the rows were glued together. Finally each side of the table was joined. Four legs in each corner measure the same length, and when flipped over, act as legs for the table. The surface is sanded smooth, and showcases the random pattern caused by the various wood species in the table.


Yes please... http://mcnabbstudio.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/the-making-of-city-table/#

More or less, less on the north, Harlem, side but still.

Very cool.

How soon do you need it?

I know a woman who has this ability to charm men with the skills she needs at the time, to do the work for free or just materials.

That is cool but useless. Fragile, useless stuff that takes up room has no place in my home.
