UPCYCLE DESIGN + RETRO ROBOTS

This was created from metal rings that were surplus from another job. I had an idea to create a table that resembled how a plane wing would look, but after putting them together with copper tube as a spacer, it just reminded me of something from a Jules Verne novel; and so the Time Machine was born.

Using some reclaimed plywood, I drew a shape a little bit organic with an industrial twist. I stained the ply top and bottom and then used a blow torch all around the edges followed by varnishing the top and bottom. I thought that something that would travel through time might get a little hot.

The construction of the table stayed unfinished for quite some time. I simply could not find the centre piece for it. I wanted to find something like a nuclear fusion or plasma discharge unit - not the the sort of thing you pick up at your local car boot sale. Eventually I found exactly what the table needed; two brass adjustable organ lamps, two contemporary kitchen lights, some old electrical cable and some LEDs topped with a nice piece of glass with brass fittings. The table is ready for its next journey.
