Spindle Table. Designed by Brad Ascalon. Manufactured by Ligne Roset.

For industrial designer Brad Ascalon, clinging irrationally to design traditions has never been an  attractive option. This Rutgers graduate’s portfolio features some striking works where each design seems to communicate its presence. The Spindle Table, which was unveiled this year, is yet another creation from Ascalon that gives an urban twist to the quintessential and reverberates with individualism and progression.
