The Fractal Games Table is one of the designs commissioned for Artefact.

The pieces we designed for this visionary project were inspired by the complex geometries and patterns found in astronomy. From the craftsmanship perspective, we wanted to ensure the furniture pieces and their design reflect the cutting-edge design of the yacht. The table has been made in dyed ripple sycamore, American black walnut, bronze metallised resin and micro-suede drawer linings. The fractal inlay and chamfered edge design are drawn from the suspension and anticipation associated with table games. It’s always a challenge to fit a games board and drawers (with all the games pieces) into a table whilst keeping the design elegant. The chamfered corners and fractal inlay help cut through the form and make it a visually lightweight piece. As with the yacht, the table is functional whilst featuring detailed and considered aesthetic.
