Atlas Occasional Tables for DWR

Greek mythology is reinterpreted in a contemporary table.

By

Designer Brad Ascalon takes on the task of reinterpreting Greek mythology with his Atlas side and coffee tables. In this rendition, the “heavens and earth” are swapped with a solid stone top and the “shoulders” of Atlas with an elegant wood frame. The result: a contemporary occasional table that can be worked into a range of aesthetics without Zeus’ intervening wrath. The tables’ surface is available in travertine, white arabascato, or black marble with an American walnut wood base. Design Within Reach. 800.944.2233. www.dwr.com.
