The remarkable, free-flowing objects that Rock creates embody his philosophy of \"furniture as art\". This too is the essence of our latest collection and every artform that we strive to source for you here at Sojourn Vintage. ⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor over 50 years, Rock's incredibly rare and prestigious designs have been sought after by art collectors, architects, designers, and even royalty. The King of Morocco commissioned two of Rock's designs to be displayed in his palace.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaptivated by the vibrant, organic labyrinth that is this sculptural table, we took to the sculptor's own writings for a glimpse into his artistic process. ⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“What I am attempting is to elevate furniture design to a pure art form, to make completely new statements in furniture form and movement. I am reminded of the threadlike interior of a breaking wave, or the perfect parabolic arc of a rainbow’s singular separate lines or the thread-like veins of a leaf. It is organic, inviting touch, like a beautiful body.“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThrough a woodworking technique used by furniture craftsmen since the 18th century, Rock hand-built The Spiral Table by layering fine pieces of Obeche wood from Ghana, Italian Maple, and Birch from Finland. He conjoined the materials in alternating directions of wood texture and tones while hand sculpting the form to reveal his final design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElegance comes in how the wood is seemingly woven together and spun upward rising out of the floor, confounding the senses. The Spiral evokes a new emotion with each glance, it lends a new story with the shift of an angle, and, much like the natural world from which it came, it is both grounding and expansive in its totality. That is art. ⁠\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sojourn Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42461966860503,"sku":"","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/1344\/2263\/products\/image_011e16f4-9a98-4a34-95af-f54e742748d3.jpg?v=1646421324","url":"https:\/\/www.sojournvintage.com\/products\/the-spiral-table-by-rock-cross-hawaii-c-1987","provider":"Sojourn Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
