Elliptical shapes visually soften the hard-edge appearance of a circle.  Essentially, ellipses are “rectangular” circles. An ellipse with dimensions similar to the “golden rectangle” shape has more visual appeal than a circle. This coffee table’s design uses “golden rectangle” ellipses.  The elliptical top (36 inches x 24 inches) sits on a base (18 inches tall) created from intersecting ellipses.

Ellipses intersect in three planes to form the sturdy support structure.

The solid Poplar construction is faux finished to a jade like appearance with multiple layers of custom-tinted varnishes.
