The industrial side mimics the ubiquitous IKEA Lack side table and the hand-carved side is designed to be as complex as possible to make by hand. These two techniques fuse together into one object, making it complicated to clearly classify. This object was first exhibited at Dilmos Gallery in Milan Italy.
