The forms presented in AL-03 were influenced by the glass artworks Larry Bell created in the 60’s, as part of the light and space art movement that emerged from Southern California. Pippig had the pleasure of viewing these works in person at the museum Dia: Beacon and was completely entranced by their translucent illusions.
AL-03 is composed of 2 aluminum legs in the shape of equidistant L’s, and a smoked glass top. Every component of the table is based on simple geometry: the addition of squares into rectangles. Offsetting the L’s visually aligns the two opposing squares, creating a dialogue of negative/positive space to imply the illusion of a single rectangular base. Following Bell’s works, negative space is an equally important element in this design as the positive is.
