Thinker Tables
Design Tom Price, UK
The Thinker Tables were commissioned by the Chinese Gallery, Chapter 7 and formed part of a large solo exhibition of Tom's works that were on show in Hangzhou, China from September to December 2009.
They are made using black and grey polyproylene tubes that have been fused together, and then melted at one end to create a flat tabletop.
The tubes are arranged in such a way that when viewed from a distance, they form 3 dimensional pixels of a 2 dimensional image. In this case the faces of Greek philosopher, Socrates, and the Chinese philosopher, Confusucius. A convex mirror (which was placed on the gallery wall) enables the viewer to see the tables in a way that reveals the images on the table. Seen this way the images become almost photographic.
Prices for these tables or new commissions by Tom Price are avialable on request.
