Debuting at Melbourne Design Week 2024, Daniel Boddam’s fascination with nature continues in his collaboration with artist Jessie French, whose painterly explorations with renewable marine algae offer the potential for a post-petrochemical world.

For the one-off Puddle Table, Daniel Boddam draws direct inspiration from the water-based process French has developed in her painterly transmutation of algae. French’s luminous poured surface is held under glass and set within a refined curvilinear form made from recycled aluminium. The final effect is like looking across a puddle of water – its colourful, translucent surface flowing in arrested motion.

The two tables can exist as their own distinct sculptural forms or nested together where the side table cantilevers over the coffee table in sweeping curves.
