Shimji Side Table

"Shimji" Side Table L-30” W-24” H-21

This is an original hand made steel table with beautiful ceramic tiles made Christina Devine. The shape of the piece has a oriental look about it.  The sheet metal skirt has an amazing patina of organic shaped patterns. 







The structure is sturdy and well made, so it’s perfect indoor or on the patio.      
      The entire piece is sealed thoroughly, so the beautiful finish is safe and won’t stain any other furniture or flooring.




Here is a view of the ceramic top:

"Overhang" Sculptural Coffee Table

"Overhang" Handmade Steel and Ceramic Tile Sculptural Coffee Table.
This unique, sculptural coffee table was inspired by simple design elements of the common freeway overpass, during a drive through Phoenix, AZ.




 Part of what makes this table so enjoyable is that two people, sitting opposite to each other, both have their own personal surfaces to enjoy, as well as sharing the large top. Here is a view from above.



 The colors and pattens of Christina’s handmade ceramic tiles are truly amazing. 
    This piece is the perfect example of our quest to blur the lines between furniture and sculpture.



L-36” x W-25” x H-18”
This piece was made in 2008.
