After-dinner model
-
Saw this on the 1stdibs.com web site today and modeled it in SketchUp after dinner. The original was designed in 1982 by the noted American architect Richard Meier. It's made in black lacquered maple.

I sometimes think that architects should stick to architecture, that is one ugly piece.
Not the model of course

Baz,
I know what you mean about architects and furniture. Frank Lloyd Wright designed some of the most amazing buildings of the last century--and some of the worst, most useless furniture, too.
The coffee table, though, isn't horrible. I think it would look good with some chairs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (an architect better known for his furniture than his buildings) or Josef Hoffmann. Or, with a different finish, next to some Frank Lloyd Wright pieces.

Nice model, David.
There does seem to be some incongruities between the table and the base. Maybe the architect wanted the contrast.

Thanks, Dave,
The model is a little disconnected, I suppose. If it didn't have Richard Meier's name attached to it, I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance.
Best,
