Object 1 is part of The Entombment: a collection of 3 functional pieces made from solid white ash. It is characterized by a seeming frailness, achieved by the juxtaposition of heavy and light elements and by the delicate touch between the components of the pieces and the pieces and the surface on which they stand. The Greeks, unlike the Romans, always used columns structurally. Object 1 draws inspiration from the Greek column of the Doric order, which originated in wood. The table formally simplifies the weight-bearing column and takes it back to its wooden beginnings.
