Mercury Desk (2012)

A reclaimed-oak desk framed by mirror-polished stainless-steel Mercury Effect panels, combining rugged history with fluid contemporary elegance.

Artist Statement

Mercury Desk unites two opposing temporalities: a century-old fishing boat timber — worn, scarred, and marked by the slow erosions of time — and the hyper-reflective, liquid-like steel that feels suspended in perpetual motion. The piece contrasts stillness and movement, permanence and transformation. Its mirrored surfaces fold the environment into rippling reflections, turning the desk into an active participant in its space rather than a static object.

1/1 Interior Placement

Ideal for modern offices, gallery studios, or luxury interiors with natural light. Works best where the reflective legs can echo surrounding textures such as stone, wood, or polished flooring.
Placement recommendation: central room positioning, with 120–150 cm clearance on all sides to allow the Mercury panels to visually “breathe”.
