Combine 21 sheets copper leaf; 1 quart crystal clear epoxy resin; 1 cup paint; 1/2 leather hide. Paint and pour, stitch and stretch. CANDY is now ready to be served!

The CANDY Table Series is an exploration into the merging of unexpected materials such as epoxy resin, metal leaf and leather. I drew inspiration for this design from leather bags and jewelry. It's certainly a departure from my other works, but experimenting with new materials and techniques is what drives me forward.

The table top consists of a metal leaf and painted pattern onto which several heavy coats of crystal clear epoxy resin are poured. This creates 3-dimensional layers embedded into a super glossy top. The leather sleeve is sewn with a topstitch and finished with a piping detail around the top rim.
