Rectangular form with a clear inset glass top set within a patinated solid bronze frame. The base is composed of textured, cast bronze elements with four legs joined by an X-form stretcher. Notably a brass snake detail adds a whimsical surrealistic element.

The surface treatment reflects a hand-worked, hammered appearance, characteristic of late 20th-century Brutalist design. The table’s construction and materiality reference earlier designs by Diego Giacometti, with whom Chodoff’s work is often associated.
