Dining Table from New Works

Atlas Dining Table

The Atlas Dining Table from New Works is a masterpiece of timeless design created by visionary John Astbury in 2023. Meticulously crafted from solid oak, this exquisite dining table pays homage to the mythical Titan, Atlas, who carried the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. Just as Atlas stood firm, the table's sturdy legs provide unbreakable support for its large tabletop.

The design philosophy behind Atlas revolves around the interplay and contrast between its legs and tabletop, with each element reinforcing the other, culminating in a distinctive and inherently brutalist aesthetic. Astbury drew inspiration from architectural history that evokes the memory of porticos and colonnades, while maintaining the fundamental post-and-lintel structure of columns and beams. The marriage of simple geometric shapes - circle and square - creates a composition of remarkable character.

Atlas takes its place in any dining room with a solid, carefully crafted presence that enchants gatherings, both intimate and grand, that gather around it. This exceptional piece marks a departure from its predecessors, a testament to New Works' commitment to innovation and quality in interior furniture.
