Straight from industry into the home...cast iron table from Derek Mcleod

This side table by Derek Mcleod is made from an uncommon material for the home, cast iron. while the heavy duty material is common in the world of industry, it is rarely seen in the home outside of old radiators and cooking pans. the table measures 45cm in diameter and 35cm tall. it is cast as a single piece using molten iron and then ground down to create a flat top surface by blanchard grinding, a process which makes the top surface flat and parallel to the bottom within 0.001 inches. this process also gives the table top its unique circular pattern. the bottom of the table showcases the raw cast iron, with its uneven and dark surface.

Nice small elegant table design, certainly wont blow away............
