Dining Table

This dining table celebrates both women's empowerment in a man's world; Zhang Yin dominates the paper industry, while Donatella Versace had to prove her ideas as equivalent or greater than her brother. The contrast of feminiety with masculinity is represented through the curvilinear table top that rises above the angular male foundation below. Women's potential are not restricted, and instead reach new levels of success.

Furthermore the two sides of the table are different, as according to the nature of both women's influence. Zhang's side is the lower, spiralling form, as its' cyclic nature symbolises how her power is derived from recycling paper ie. growing success from waste. It is unfinished, but i plan to have the spirals move downwards rather than being drawn in one flat plane.
