Furniture doesn’t often get the credit its due for being beautiful and artistic. There aren’t many furniture museums out there in the world showcasing the talented work of carpenters, glass workers, and decorators even though their work is just as relevant and astounding as some of the paintings featured in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. Instead of dismissing furniture pieces like the round glass kitchen table from the art world we should be putting them on display for all to see.
Luckily, if you appreciate the artistic merits of furniture you can always turn your own home into a modern art exhibit. You can start at the kitchen table and move your way out into the living room and dining room. The kitchen table can be the most artistic piece because it doesn’t suffer from the confined and regimented qualities of the dining room, it is meant to be a more casual eating-place and therefore can be a little whimsical from time to time.
Glass tabletops can be morphed into any shape and size but the most versatile shape has got to be the circle. A glass circle can have spiral inlays, it can be stained in a variety of different colors, it can be used to showcase the inner workings of the foundation of the table, or it can just look frosted and clean easily.
One of the most interesting round kitchen table pieces out there today has got to be the clock face kitchen table. A furniture maker and antique clock enthusiast took the mechanism out of a grandfather clock and laid it down inside the pedestal of a glass round kitchen table. The glass was see through the clock face looked up so that you can see it ticking and tocking away while you ate your meal.
There are so many interesting and artistic things that you can do with simple kitchen furniture that it is a shame so many artists aren’t even bothering to give it a try. You can break out of the mold and find more interesting information on round kitchen tables at Round Kitchen Table Ideas.
