These glass and steel Executive Desks have a top of half-inch polished glass and stand on pedestals made from fine steel plate. They have striking, clean lines in an European, minimalist design and were made for a house in Westchester, New York. You can customize the tops for these tables to include glass, stone, wood or live-edge wood in the size that best works for your project The pedestals here are finished in Aged Copper. A wide color range is available, especially if the finish is upgraded to powder coating. A natural, raw steel also presents an exceptional, more industrial, look. The images show a set of His and Her matching desks, one L-shaped the other a stand-alone piece. Dimensions here : 60 x 26" This design concept will work strikingly well as Reception Desks or Dining Tables The price of the table will be dependent, in large measure, on the choice of table top. Size and finishes are also important cost variables. DELIVERY: I will deliver and instal the table myself within a 50 mile radius of New York City. For delivery to elsewhere in the US I will locate the best price for your location. I have estimated shipping below

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.
