Paul Cocksedge's Slump furniture features glass pressed over rocks
Glass surfaces slump over solid, organic bases in this series of furniture by Paul Cocksedge, which was launched at this year's London Design Festival.
Presented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery as part of London Design Festival, the Slump collection includes nine tables that pair industrial sheets of glass with boulders, concrete, wood and tubes of steel.
At each point where the tabletops meet their bases, the glass surface has been moulded to hug the adjoining leg below.
This creates the effect of "naturally occurring forms" like water from a stream flowing over jutting rocks.
The Bubble table features a glass top laid over multiple patinated steel tubes
While the Rock coffee table resembles a river running over a boulder, the base of the Bubble table, which is made from multiple patinated steel tubes, creates soft, water droplet-like indentations in the glass top. Other pieces like the 4 Legs dining table have a more uniform and less naturalistic aesthetic, comprised of four cylindrical legs made from steel.
For last year's London Design Festival, Cocksedge created an outdoor seating installation made from three concentric rings of undulating steel topped with scaffolding planks.
During the UK coronavirus lockdown, the designer turned his talent to creating a blanket that would allow people to "socialise safely and confidently" outdoors once restrictions have been lifted.
