Urban-Industrial describes a style that pairs industrial material, mainly steel or wood, with design flair, excellent craftsmanship and and a finely accented finish. The result is functional art. The textural quality of the materials retain their honest, natural look as part of the character they lend the piece. This Art Table - or Pedestal, or Accent Table - has simple, strong lines that make it a striking, sculptural piece. Two steel beams with an oxidized patina anchor its elegant height. The asymmetric centerfold triangles -architectural elements - are made from steel sheet, finished with linseed oil to present a deeper tone and a subtle sheen as a contrast to the rust- colored legs The steel sphere is forged at a foundry in Maryland. The table-top is rock-faced calacatta marble but can be your choice of travertine, granite, wood or thick glass. Although designed for a home with art to showcase, the table has the presence to be a stunning feature of an entrance hall, at a gallery or in a restaurant. It catches the eye as a sculpture in its own right. DIMENSIONS: Height 37 inches; Width 22 inches; Width 16 inches Dimensions can be customized to be site or artwork-specific. I will deliver and install the table myself within a 50 mile radius of New York City for a super nominal cost. For shipping to elsewhere in the US I will locate the best price possible, including via uShip which is safer and less expensive than the big carriers

I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.
I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.
The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.
I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.
My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.

For Brian's Dining TableWorking with Dinsa was a pleasure right from the start. He communicated perfectly and this was the reason that I chose him to do my project. The table I wanted built was unique in size and design and Dinsa embraced it's uniqueness completely / communicated excellently and delivered what he promised on time.built to the quality we discussed. I would definitely use Peppercorn Studio in the future. Brian

For Salvaged Steel Side TablesI am very happy with my finished product. Dinsa was easy to work with, communicated well and the product was delivered pretty quickly considering it was quite an involved project. There are some small things I i did not communicate well, such as the finish of the desk top and the fit of the glass for the end table tops. However, the craftsmanship for the metal pieces was excellent. Dinsa is very creative and and the finished product is very original and exactly what i had in mind.
