A striking coffee table becomes a monument to climate change in the hands of British designer Charlie Davidson. The “Peak Oil” table includes a glass top perched on top of a black mahogany tree stump.
“Since the human race is soon going to see the end of the ‘oil age’ as we know it, and it is not going to take long, it would only be fitting to produce an iconic and sickly reminder of those times to pass,” explains the artist of his design. “The table takes its basic form from the trunk of a mahogany tree which has been rendered with the glossy black plastic surface, a synthetic tomb stone if you like.”
