Liquid mercury has this alienesque quality to it that is always so fascinating that it’s no wonder I am equally intrigued by the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table. Although not inspired by liquid mercury, its resemblance to the substance is unmistakable.
Designed in 2007, the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table is finally being put into production by Dutch manufacturer FueraDentro. A part of their 2010 collection, admirers are bound to appreciate the "natural fluid patterns" and "organic, bone-like connections" that the designer hopes are noticed. I definitely notice these patterns--they're what drew me to the piece in the first place.
