Sprout is a translation of a seedling with oversized and playful proportions. To further emphasize the proportions, Sprout uses cantilevered surfaces and minimal visible supports to give the table a fun, youthful energy. The metal stems hold the wood surfaces in two distinctly different ways to emphasize the various penetrating connections. Due to a mistake during fabrication, a last-minute design change had to be made – the ‘bite’ mark cut into the top leaf. The cartoonish bite adds more to the playful energy which is imbued into the piece.
