ORBIT A star in orbit
Two cylinders turned from Swiss sandstone hold a circular glass plate and form a hub from which the solid oak table top extends. At the hub end a hollowed area in the table top serves as a ready-made bowl. The table top is supported at the other end by a wooden strut with a wedged mortice and tenon joint.
