The table is composed of a cylindrical base in richly grained rosewood, carved into a continuous spiral configuration. The dynamic, concentric structure creates a striking architectural volume, with the curved planes unfolding inward toward a central core. The precision of the joinery and the rhythmic geometry emphasize both craftsmanship and sculptural intent. Resting above the base is a square clear glass top with polished edges, appearing to float lightly above the wooden form. The transparency of the glass reveals the full sculptural composition beneath, transforming the base into the visual focal point and reinforcing the dialogue between solidity and lightness. Kagan’s work is renowned for its sensual curves and modernist elegance; this table exemplifies his ability to merge functionality with artistic expression. The spiral motif reflects the organic modern vocabulary that defines his oeuvre, while the luxurious wood veneer underscores the refined material sensibility of the period.
