A double layered coffee table featuring an original artwork. Hand painted tiles and a slatted lower shelf. A one-off piece combining an artwork with beautiful furniture. Tiles provide a hard wearing and heat-resistant surface, with a satisfying contrast between their black matte finish and the glossy black hand painted glaze. This unique work of art by Tom Dowse makes a beautiful centrepiece to any lounge or living space. The frame of the coffee table in English oak gives a neutral backdrop for this piece to come alive. About Loose Fit Editions: Loose Fit invite artists to contribute their work to an aspect of a piece of furniture. This could be anything from original paintings glazed onto tiles for a unique tiled tabletop, to a silk screen print onto the doors of a cabinet. Loose Fit always go through a collective process with the artists who work with us to find the right piece of furniture for their work and the right way to incorporate their vision. About Tom Dowse: Tom Dowse is an artist and musician who lives and works in South London. Drawing forms the central preoccupation of Tom’s visual work that encompasses printmaking, textiles and ceramic sculpture. His work often weaves together elements of the everyday with autobiography, social history and folklore to create highly personalised graphic cosmogonies that echo Neolithic painting, comics and outsider art. Tom has produced this tiled coffee table in collaboration with us at Loose Fit using painted imagery that derives from drawings he made whilst walking his dog every day in Crystal Palace park. Observations of characters, landscapes, objects and sensations inter-mingle to create a language of their own, rendered as they are, in hyper-simplified, iconographic form. Dimensions W 880mm x H 400mm x D 480mm
