Stefan Rurak, Action Series, Concrete and Brass Occasional Table, USA, 2023

Creator: Stefan Rurak
Offered by: Todd Merrill Studio

Description
Stefan Rurak’s furniture defies conventional boundaries – merging fine art aesthetics, modern conceptual design, and traditional, hand-made craftsmanship techniques. His evocative, one-of-a-kind works are the type of collectible pieces built to span generations. The table tops of his low tables are individually hand-patinated steel. The smooth surface of the steel is populated with splashes and stains, finished with oil and buffed wax and then gilded along the edges in 24ct gold. Applied pigmented concrete is built up to create texture somewhere between collage and assemblage for the round pedestal bases.

Rurak draws no distinction between art and design – the utilitarian becoming a canvas for his aesthetic endeavor. Each work conveys movement, action, and intuition, providing a stark counterpoint to the meticulous construction and composition of the functional skeleton underneath.
