THE DOODLE-JAZZ PIECES: COFFEE TABLE NO 4
Here, the spontaneity of child-like doodling is explored. The frame was drawn freehand as a doodle and the line quality is maintained in the steel framework. This retains a freshness and immediacy one would find in a sketch. Each DOODLE PIECE has a different form as the drawing is done as an improvisation, allowing the rhythm of the hand and body to inform and dictate the flow of the doodle line and the subsequent frame pattern that emerges from that. The mosaic designs are approached similarly, randomly playing with patterns in a jazz-like skid. I wanted to create a piece of furniture that is natural and vibrant in feel. The sinuous flow and rhythm of the frame line contribute to a refined finish in tone. The doodle-jazz coffee tables can also be manufactured with a 20mm solid marble slab finish. This results in an altogether more chic and luxe furniture piece.
