The Oblique Beam is designed in a contemporary, minimalist-chic style - clean lines, simple materials, fine finish, high craftsmanship. Built out of steel and glass, its casually striking form is equally at home in a Dining Room or for outdoors as a deck table. The difference is simply how the steel is finished The base is three beams of asymmetrically placed 2x3" tubular-steel Several finishes are available - raw steel finished with linseed oil for a more earthy, industrial look; anodized metallic paint (as in the images), red, blue, green or yellow for a daring but sophisticated look; and, best for outdoors, powder-coating in a wide palette of colors The top is 3/8 inch glass, polished edges, one inch radius corners. Again the glass can be of a different character - say laminated, or bevelled - or can be replaced by wood or stone The table in this image is a 36 inch square but can be built to custom sizes and shapes Choice of finish, material and size will dictate cost The table will ship as the base and glass in separate pieces The shipping I have posted is a best-estimate; I will obtain the least expensive price for your order, including from uShip

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 Live Edge English Walnut Coffee TableDinsa made me a live edge coffee table made from American black walnut. It’s absolutely stunning and fits my space beautifully. He listened to my requirements and worked hard to meet them. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

For Urban Industrial Accent Table, Side Table, Coffee TableIt's exactly what I wanted. I hate having cookie cutter furniture that can be in anyones home. It has not depth or style. This on the other hand says I found someone that gets my sense of style and decorum. Recommission materials. Class.

For Custom Wood Slab TableDinsa Mehta is a true artist! I wanted a “table” but really more a piece of art. Dinsa saw my vision and knocked it out of the park!!! I’m about to send him my next order!

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.
