Lot Essay

Sebastian Cox found his studio, workshop and mill in South East London in 2010 on the principle that a traditional approach could be used in radical new ways to design a sustainable future. Championing traditional techniques and locally sourced British hardwoods, Sebastian has created an authentic and honest design for this one-off table, made especially for this auction. The simple construction is enhanced by the deeply rich texture created by the process of scorching the wood, in particular to the centre of each leg and the centre of the top.
