This table is an unashamedly high end luxury piece. It would become the focal point of outdoor terraces and private gardens as well as forming a key part of any outdoor hospitality or event areas of hotels and public outdoor entertainment areas.
Its construction method uses the water tough to create a deep beam in the centre which both allows for a long clear span for the table surface and provides the necessary cross bracing and rigidity for the table as a whole.
It is possible to construct the table in many different materials from Sheet Steel, to Marble to Concrete to Glass.
Each material would give the table a different look and allow it to be contextualised and integrated into the host environment be it landscape or architectural.
The table can be treated as a standalone table or can be connected in series to allow a running water flow across all of the tables echoing the original Cardinal's table in Italy.
For a stand alone table the water trough can be filled with ice or water.
In the case of a table made with solid materials e.g. stone, steel etc. the bottom of the water trough will be glass.
This will allow for up-lighting and back-lighting effects for the table at night which will add a further dramatic look to the table.
The guests at the Cardinal's table could also dip their toes in water, this idea has been incorporated into the final renderings which show how the table could be used in a vineyard for instance.
