Marie Michielssen enjoys working with natural tactile materials such as plaster and papier-mâché. For a long time she had wanted to do something with wood a warm material that was literally not so easy to handle and thus posed a challenge for her. The result is an impressive table with a solid oak top. As with many of my designs for Serax I used one of my sculptures as a starting point. Two curved elements merge to form the central table leg covered with wood veneer. There is a recurring theme in my work; the incorporation of masculine versus feminine which I have also incorporated. You can look at the leg from two perspectives: on one side you see the perfect symmetry between the two elements which is rather the masculine one; on the other side you see the flowing curved lines which represents the feminine aspect. Together they form a harmonious whole. And finally because I find it more important than ever to create a warm welcoming atmosphere in the house I chose a large round top of 180 cm
