The name is meant to reflect the retro 1950s style of the table.  During the 1950s everything that was modern and slick was called "atomic."  Atomic power was considered to be the wave of the future.  So I present to you "The Atomic Table," a retro coffee table made from Maple with a pickled finish and a glass top. 



The Atomic Coffee Table, 2005
Originally Commission for Private Collection

The idea for this design was a brought to me by the  client.  He had a a very strong idea about what he wanted, and together we made it a reality for him and for you.  There were several challenges that this piece presented.   

Challenge One: The Style
The style is very different from my own, and forced me to really stretch myself artistically. 

Challenge Two:  The Glass Top
The glass top had to carefully created and the client requested that it be permanently affixed to the top.  We did an in-home viewing of the piece before I permanently attached the piece.  Once it was done, there was no going back.

Challenge Three:  The Pickling Finish
This finish was another request from the client.  It worked beautifully with the other furnishings in the home, but the design had to actually be modified slightly along the way, due to the naturally inconsistent nature of this style of finish.

The Results:
In the end the client was quite pleased with the final product.  It created a great focal point in the living room, and fit it perfectly with the surrounding furniture and decorating style.
