Surrealist Style Collage Table by Emma Mullender

Assemblage Table 360 design with Metal Hairpin Legs by Emma Mullender

“The world doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?

Pablo Picasso

Inspiration

I found the most fantastic collage book in a charity shop, and I can honestly say it’s one of my best second hand finds EVER!. The images in the book somehow inspired me to make this table, I just knew it would look great as a table top. I’ve upcycled many pieces of furniture, but never made a piece of furniture from scratch! Ok, I got a bit of help putting the frame together (my carpentry skills aren’t the best) but pretty much did all the rest of the work! I’m proud of it and LOVE it too much to part with it!

The Process

Made from an old table top, planks of pinewood (to frame top) I used a blow-torch to blacken the pinewood and bought some 1950s style hairpin legs. The collage has been designed to make ‘sense’ from any angle you look at it. A 360 degree collage. Sealed to a wipe clean waterproof finish .
