Table:When It's a Bowl

With its gently tapering, seven-sided legs, Table: When It's a Bowl, at first glance, appears to be merely another entry or dressing table. However, by turning a nine-inch wide by half-inch deep parabolic bowl into its top, I have attempted to not only subvert received notions of what a table is or ought to be, but also to subtly call into question what our society values.
