Illuminated Arboreal Tables

The LiveEdge Dining Table Branches Out into a Chandelier

— June 1, 2012 — Art & Design
There are so many delightful qualities to the LiveEdge Dining Table, including more than simply the convenient feature of an integrated central light fixture. This unconventional characteristic lets one position his piece independently from the existing electrical units in a room -- but even more can be admired.

Designer Christopher Poehlmann of CP Lighting has been long manufacturing contemporary candelabra from repurposed aluminum piping as part of his newGROWTH collection. He artistically arranges these metallic components into elaborate branch-like structures to imitate the tops of trees. This particular creation exhibits a floor lamp style of object that's here rooted in a custom-made plywood eating surface. No two LiveEdge Dining Tables are alike but they're each accented in the splendid illumination of incandescent bulbs as foliage.
