Inspired by Bruce’s childhood and birth, this coffee table was designed to evoke the roundness of the kernels of corn grown in Africa. Unlike the native corn of other countries like the United States, these kernels have a voluptuousness and shape unlike any other. Made of acrylic crushed agate that has been treated to an aged cream finish and resin polymer, the table’s interior cut-out has been accentuated with a gold leaf appliqué and its lower third has been carved in a corn pattern that fades to mimic chaff blowing in the wind.
