Ligne Roset Spindle table fuses modern, classic style

Everything old is new again -- particularly in modern design these days. Among the growing number of pieces to call upon the past to make a statement in the present: Ligne Roset’s new Spindle table. Made of two sheets of gracefully curved glass with an ornately carved wooden post as an asymmetrical support, the table is at once contemporary and neoclassical. “I wanted to create a beautiful balance of two diametrically opposed styles in a way that truly celebrates the history of both ornamentation and minimalism,” designer Brad Ascalon says. “I didn’t want the juxtaposition to be ironic or humorous, but rather, respectful of the qualities of each style.” The table is $1,797 at Ligne Roset showrooms in L.A., Santa Monica and Newport Beach; www.ligne-roset-usa.com.
