Shell Coffee Table
The Shell coffee table challenges designing and engineering by combining monumental and brutal physicality, using stacked and fractured glass. The rugged trim is full of character and adds a vivid juxtaposition with the straight edges on the stacked glass. Not only is this a functional piece of furniture but a masterpiece in a contemporary home.
Designed by the legendary British sculptor Danny Lane for Fiam Italia and manufactured in Italy, the Shell coffee table exploits the strength of glass under compression and combines sophisticated construction and apparent simplicity. Shell’s glass base is made of 12 mm thick curved glass while its hand sculptured top is made of 15 mm thick glass.
Designed by
Danny Lane is an accomplished sculptor of American origin, who moved to England in 1975 to work under Patrick Reyntiens, an artist who specializes in the use of colored glass, which is Danny Lane's signature style in his projects. As a student, he studied Fine Arts at the Byam Shaw School of Art and the Central School of Art and Design, which allowed him to experiment with different design techniques.
In 1981, he started his first studio in London, where he began to build his name and fine tune his craft. Danny Lane combines his love of sculpting and his passion for design to create unique and one-of-a-kind products. Lane is now a staple figure on the international design realm.
