These 500 tables are more than just practical places to set a coffee cup or notepad; they're inspired works of art. Esteemed juror Andrew Glasgow has selected a wide array of styles and forms, from pieces that showcase masterful woodwork to ones that feature alternative materials and aesthetic sensibilities. The striking examples include Gord Peteran1s end table fashioned from swirling red electrical wire, Boris Bally1s small square transit table made of recycled aluminum traffic signs, and Stephen Whittlesey's "Eddy," which uses driftwood, salvaged oak, and chestnut.

More than merely practical places upon which to set coffee cups, the 500 tables selected for inclusion in this exquisitely illustrated book are remarkable works of art. They offer surprise, innovation, craftsmanship, and beauty. Artists will find inspiration in the inventiveness inherent in each individual table, and readers and collectors will delight in the breadth and scope of the entire collection.
