Inspired by ancient mythology, Atlas was said to hold up the heavens in Ancient Greece. Somerset has always been drawn to Ancient Mythology, and this piece reflects its impact on his life.

The tabletop is influenced by night sky photography, capturing the way stars track across the sky. Crafted from black walnut and white gold, each piece is unique and handmade.

Given enough time to decipher the leg, you can see Atlas' name in structural Atypographic font. This art movement seeks to encrypt characters into glyphs, blurring the lines between text and ornament while still being universally readable. The hidden meanings behind these symbols, waiting to be understood, reflect the essence of ancient history.

It was a pleasure working with Thomas Gontar at Glynde Forge for the metalwork and Svethe Grudi for the Atypography. Thank you both.
