James Ian Killinger, a 2008 graduate of Iowa State University’s College of Design,sent images of the Kersplat Coffee Table that he created.
James says:
A liquid’s life is an ephemeral one. Its molecular structure determines that its movements are transient and fleeting—chaotic, yet bound by the laws of physics. There is a simple elegance to the moment liquid collides with a denser surface. I wanted to hold onto that moment a little longer. Capture it. Examine it.
Believe it or not, this piece was actually crafted out of poplar wood. After shaping the individual “splatters tendrils,” they were joined to a base and the piece was finessed further. Ensuring that each of the four contact splatters were level and even was paramount. The table was then painted in a high gloss red and topped off by a custom cut piece of glass.
