Duet Nesting Tables Coralie Cocktail Table

Based on Auguste Renoir’s 1883 painting “By the Seashore,” the brilliant blue glass of the Coralie Cocktail Table seems to hum with the intensity of rolling waves. The base of the table is wrapped steel overlaid with brass and is inspired by the wicker chair in which the subject of the painting sits, but it represents more than that.

“Father, Son, Holy Spirit is a rope of three — that’s what that says to me,” Hershberger shares as he points out how the strands combine in the center of the table.

The tabletop is made of a thick glass that is brilliant and transparent in the center, but then becomes opaque and darkens as one looks out toward its edges.

“What we’ve got here, is to me, part of what I think Creation would have looked like — moving together and then out of that — the whole Godhead ... the order that he brought out of that,” Hershberger says. “It’s just the start of the whole collection, it has lots of stuff going on with it, and it just explodes in color and beauty and handcraftsmanship.”
