Designer Lisa Sacco often draws inspiration from things that have piqued her fascination including the latest work -- the Haptic. It is a wood consoel table that is made from a single quarter-sewn oak plank material. The designer explains that “The rhythmic and patinated perfection of corrugated sheet metal reminds me of my past, our past, and a dramatic shift in material awareness that is taking place before our eyes."
To create the Haptic, Sacco starts by cutting the wood into three pieces and then putting it under a CNC machine to carefully carve out the waves. The three sections are joined to create a waterfall console structure and a drawer is added to provide storage and function.
