Binary examines the relationship of surface to core. The top is a sandwich of baltic birch ply between two sheets of matte white Formica Coloucore™ laminate. Cutting through the laminate, to reveal a shallow circular walnut tray and edge offers a stratigraphic presence, allowing the richness of the walnut to speak against the neutrality of the white. Colourcore™ was chosen to solve the challenge of revealing the naked edge of a plastic surfacing material which is commonly unsightly, and has pedestrian associations. Sandwiching the layers allows for a thin structure with superior rigidity. The base structure is essentially about line, being a continuous loop of steel rod, defining the negative space beneath the top. Assymetrically placed cross-members help the base speak to the top, also providing an alternative to the usually static nature of such purely structural elements. Stephen Hugo-Seinader 2000
