The series is handmade using sustainable materials like high-grade FSC wood and glass, showcasing the geological slices of ocean and land is a work of art that wraps geography, art and science into one.
According to Duffy, he wanted to replicate a real piece of the earth’s seabed, so as to make an impression that some mythical power has lifted a piece from earth’s crust and is using it as his personal ornament. Replicating the deep-sea zone, the black base of the table lifts the layers of topography and creates a dramatic depth of the ocean, while to highlight the different depth of the oceans inside the table, it is provided with lights in the center that gives table 3D impression.
