Nautilus Table, American rock

maple, silky oak black epoxy resin

‘The design comes from the shape

of a nautilus shell. The underneath

retains the 3D spiral shape but the

top surface, needing to be flat, was

machined down to almost flat and the

residual “valley” replaced by the inlay.

The bulk of the carving of the top, inlay

and legs was done using a CNC router

with hand work for the detailing. The

starting point was a 3D file (STL) and

this was edited and finally imported

into the CNC software.’

Above: Adrian Spano, Drinks Cabinet, American walnut, brass and mirror
‘I enjoy working with a range of materials and wanted to create a practical piece of
furniture with the focus on the solid brass panel doors. I had no real plan when I started
this drinks cabinet, only a rough sketch, and it was nice to mainly freestyle this piece from
start to finish. The brass was cut by CNC machine, and from there I worked on the shape
of the door frames and the mitred cabinet using splines some of which were also brass.’
