"Entropy" branded studio concept: burl table with a river of metal shavings and gears, on a gallery plinth

Tables — one-off

Entropy

Generated — studio concept, not a photograph of the physical piece
Side Table , Metal shavings

A side table built from a single burl slab, split by a river of steel filings and shavings that pools into a cluster of brass and steel watch gears at one end — raw workshop swarf treated as the centrepiece material rather than swept up.

Stands on slender black hairpin legs, keeping all the visual weight in the top.

The full piece — true colour, daylight
