Round Topped Biped Side Table with Tiger Maple Base

The designer and craftsman in me are truly united in order to achieve the spareness and distinctive stance of this animated little side table; the "Biped" table reflects both my love of clean angular lines and expressing much with little.

This new version uses the same base as my standard square-topped Biped, but with an 20" diameter circular, solid ash top. Like with the standard Biped, this table's base is composed of a leaning, triangular tapered post which is cut from a single, large-dimensioned piece of walnut or tiger maple (pictured). The legs and top rails are made from the off-cuts of the same piece–their surfaces selectively angled like facets to compliment the dynamic stance of the piece. They are connected to the post with mortise and tenon joinery. A 3/16" thick aluminum plate is mortised in to the underside of the >5/8" thick, cantilevered ash top aiding its connection to the top rails by distributing connection points more widely and ensuring the thin top stays flat. The lower edge of the top is undercut around its perimeter leaving a visible 1/2" thickness.

I produce these with both walnut and tiger maple bases. The standard top is made of ash which shows its deep grain patterns/texture through the hard, pigmented finish. I offer a few stock colors and am able to customize to the color and wood of your choice. Please contact me to order/discuss.
