The Boullée Table is named in honour of Étienne-Louis Boullée, 1728 – 1799, a neo-classical architect whose visionary design for Newton’s Cenotaph interprets his subject’s ground breaking conceptions of time and space via a monumental language of form and light.

The Boullée table is a distillation of pure form rendered in mirror polished and acid etched stainless steel. It is constructed from three structural elements – sphere, disc and axial base – which interlock in accordance with the movement of the heavens. The piece presents a glimpse of interstellar horizons, the monumental shadows of the planets and the glittering light of a thousand distant suns.
