Showcasing my dining table below, a personal favourite from a series of solid granite furniture that I designed and R got made for me based on my drawings. He was most sceptical about anyone wanting to own heavy stone furniture so my sell-out exhibition was a huge surprise.
The top is toughened glass. The pattern in the centre has been adapted from a book on Mayan art and is carved into the solid 4″ thick granite block by an enormously talented local craftsman who completed it in under four days!
The Urge To Wander 
Really stunning! You have a gift! Thanks for sharing your hard work! Has R changed his mind about building for you? 🙂
Great design. That is so beautiful!
I saw it personally it was just outof this world, but I did not know there was so much history about it
I had an exhibition long before you moved here Shaila. Then I rejoined work and this took a back seat. Thanks for dropping by 🙂
I am bowled over by this piece. Is the supporting end made of granite too? I can’t imagine that it isn’t since that 4″ disc would require stone to hold it. This simple, modern, elegant and polished table holding an “ancient” Myan disc is pure creative genius, Madhu. The logistics of moving this piece are formidable. No rearranging the furniture! I really, really like this. Thanks for posting it. Would like to see the other pieces in the series.
It is one single block of polished stone George. The pattern has been carved into that block on either side. The weight is a downside of course, no rearranging like you say 🙂 This was a trial piece with carving, the rest were all plain and contemporary with varying polish and texture effects. Delighted that you liked it.
Lovely – and you can enjoy – and use – it every day!
Yeah, functional art 🙂 Thank you so much
Beautiful design! Loved it..
Thanks Deepa. I held an exhibition a few years ago, heck it was 14 years ago, and sold every piece!
Madhu that is simply stunning. How creative you are !!!

You are a generous soul Gilly…thank you so much.
I was awed by the ease with which the sculptor handled that pattern in the centre. It was so effortless, and done in a couple of days! i took longer for my drawings 🙂
