On the Pulse

oak wood, mild steel, toughened glass, pigmented mineral oil, neon tube, pulse beat mechanism & electronics
H 72 x D 120 x L 300 cm

The ‘on the pulse’ tabletop is filled with a pigmented mineral oil, creating a red, mirrored surface. A mechanical human heartbeat varies in speed beneath the table and disturbs the membrane, rippling the oil and creating a sense of aliveness.
