TIMBER ROBOT STUDIO

Invasion MK1

Regular price £3,200 Sale

Created and finished by Philip Gay in his studio in West London.

This striking side table is part of a limited edition of 12. It embraces an industrial and engineered aesthetic, balancing cold metal and warm timber with machine like forms. Sharp lines and bold shapes give this piece some impact. The walnut plugs lead you from the legs, across the metal and onto the maple veneered centre, the maple undercarriage in turn flowing back to the legs. The toughened glass both widens the practical table surface, protects the timber and aluminium, and creates a layer of negative space.

The inspiration behind this piece started with a piece of aluminium from a prop making job, for Mission Impossible Fallout. Philip saved it from the bin and the shapes inspired the metal ring which features in the table.

Made from walnut, maple, aluminium and glass. There are a variety of joinery techniques used, from a selection of mortise and tenons within the timber construction, to threaded inserts and mechanical fixings through the aluminium. The walnut inlay in the centre serving as practical plugs for screw fixings as well as a visual feature. The aluminium has a radially brushed surface finished in renaissance wax to create a soft sheen and the timbers are finished with danish oil.

Philip was a winner of the AUTHOR's Choice award at the New Designers Selects show in Summer 2024. ND Selects is a curated space at New Designers dedicated to shine a light on new businesses in the design industry. Philip's products are featured on the AUTHOR website on a not-for-profit basis.

Why we love this product

THIS PIECE IS INTELLIGENT AND A JOY TO BEHOLD;

Appreciating Philip's background within the film and set-building world brings sense to this intergalactic styled piece; I can see it as Captain Kirk's favoured perch for his Romulan Ale.

Characterised by the exquisite workmanship of all of Philip's pieces, this side table is very special; and would sit as happily in your snug as on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise.
