Ripple Series tables are like frozen music

ripple_front.jpg

Artist and engineer Lee Rowland see things a bit differently from you and me. Using sophisticated 3D milling processes and a variety of materials such as polished aluminum, clear polyester resin and a dash of aerospace engineering, he’s created the Ripple Series, tables that appear to stop time in its rippling tracks.

Just look at that gleaming water droplet backwash, seemingly frozen in time. Magnificent! Teamed up with that crazy floating table we showed you a couple of weeks ago, a table like this could make your guests think they’re hallucinating. Too bad these works of art might only be deployed in museums or billionaire mansions, because the least expensive one costs just shy of $45,000.

Look great, but not very practical.

Are these real? A few of the pictures definately look computer generated.

I think that it is truely beautiful. Art is the expression of time, space, feeling, and personal preference. The very idea that someone could take such simple materials as metal and plastic and create a work of art like this is simply mind blowing. It really gives a sense of depth as to the simplicity of all of it. How many people would think of still framing a ripple/drop and transform it in to a table?
