Gazelle Side Table
This graceful piece is both masculine and feminine. It anchors the room with it’s
strength and fluid lines. One of the benefits of this particular piece is the ease of its elegant
nature to blend into both formal and informal environments.
Therefore the graceful Gazelle is a wonderful addition with your favorite chair on both sides, sofa as a side table or at the foot of your stair case.
Design Notes:
Domesticating the wild spirit of a dangerously fast Gazelle so you could infuse her energy into your favorite rooms is the design intent of this piece, which is definitely one of our favorites.
In spite of its recent design, the Gazelle’s animal roots
imprint the piece with their ancient legacy.
You can order the Gazelle:
1. with silver-gilded rings on the legs. This approach gives the piece ethnicity or
2. in its more unadorned rendition where the rings have subdued animal stripes.
Construction Notes:
We designed the legs to imitate the legs of the gazelle and our original artist proof was literally so.
But unless it is a commissioned piece, repeatability is an important design criteria.
So we sufficiently reduced the muscle mass of the Gazelle thighs so the legs could be turned in a lathe while keeping the hand carved hoofs.
The silver-gilded rings entail attaching paper thin silver to the rings so they conform perfectly to its curved surfaces. The animal stripes alternative is achieved by first staining the rings with a yellowish tint and then over painting them except the stripes with the color of the table.
The piece still requires considerable hand carving to make the interior hollow of the legs and sculpt its rounded skirt. The top is secured to the legs with dowels and then carved to give the table a continuous surface.
