The Cosmos Table: A Marvel of Intricate Design

Concept and Details 
The Cosmos Table embodies a profound concept. And to begin with, let’s delve into its details.

River of Life and Harmony
At the heart of the table lies a stunning river, crafted on the bottom with river rocks. This meandering waterway, reminiscent of the River of Life, flows through the centre of the split bottom shelf, and is contrasting beautifully with the surrounding wood. Moreover, beneath its surface, a curved trail symbolizes the River of Harmony, divided by a white and a black rock, representing the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang.

Lichtenberg Figures
Furthermore, the table’s legs are adorned with Lichtenberg figures, intricate branching patterns that extend upward from the bottom shelf and dissipate on the tabletop. These figures symbolize the energy that connects life, harmony, and the cosmos, creating a harmonious interplay of form and meaning.

Tabletop Design
The tabletop is a masterpiece of colour and texture. Firstly, multiple layers of epoxy resin, poured in various colours, create a stunning, paint-like effect reminiscent of the deep cosmos. To enhance the celestial theme, hand-drilled stars of varying angles and depths are scattered across the surface, reflecting light in mesmerizing ways. Consequently, this captivating display is visible both day and night, with or without power.

Celestial Elegance
Moreover, solid brass corners, engraved with four different constellations, add a touch of celestial elegance. Additionally, the tabletop is protected by toughened glass, ensuring durability and scratch resistance.

Material and Craftsmanship
Furthermore, the primary material, Red Meranti, is renowned for its distinctive grain pattern. Depending on the lighting conditions, the wood’s colour varies from light brown to light red.

Traditional Joinery
Finally, all joinery is executed with traditional carpentry techniques, reflecting our passion for craftsmanship. This dedication to quality is evident in every detail of the Cosmos Coffee Table and will continue to define Gaia’s Work in future projects.
