Known for his large-scale public installations and intricate private commissions, Powell’s work explores the "alchemical properties" of steel, transforming a rigid industrial material into fluid, organic forms.

The table features two elegantly arching, hand-forged steel supports that meet at a circular base, creating a sense of balanced tension and architectural grace. The rich, patinated finish highlights the raw beauty of the metal, making it a perfect statement piece for contemporary, brutalist, or industrial-leaning interiors.
