Containa Side Table Edition 03 in Clear Frost Glass and White Lacquered Turned Timber by Dean Norton.
CONTAINA is an encased contemporary furniture series which explores the narrative of the vessel and its contents. Editions 01,02,03, 04 focus on an organic, sculptural, wood-turned form, housed within mitre bonded shards of frosted glass, protected, still, and delicately floating in what appears to be a blanket of fog. Attained through a combination of natural materials combined with traditional and modern machining techniques.
This results in a functional art piece that is perceptible in both design precision and organic composition, a symbolic exploration of confinement and protection.Dean Norton develops products that consider form, function, refined detailing, and harmony in materials. Drawing inspiration from several contemporary Influences, he aims to create enduring pieces that connect on an emotional level, merging a balance between art and design whilst maintaining a minimalist design aesthetic.
