steel and tempered glass.
The steel table was a design to test the qualities of mild steel in tension and to put two old four foot square glass tops to good use.
A welded support frame was designed from inch square steel hollow sections: adjustable steel feet at the top and bottom of each steel table leg were placed to support the the half inch thick tempered glass tops as well as to allow levelling of the table on an uneven floor.
The steel frame was designed to deflect in the middle of its span, a play on the characteristics of steel in tension.
