los angeles based artist eddy sykes pays homage to the work horse of architectural construction in his latest work, ‘scaffold’. made of solid bronze and carrara marble, the functional sculpture is a testament to the ubiquitous tool that rarely receives the recognition it deserves. ‘scaffold’ is accurate in terms of history and engineering, the latter of which allows the piece to support two 250lb slabs over a span of eight feet. sykes has released the ‘scaffold’ table, which he built personally, as a limited-edition series. custom configurations and stone types are available by commission only. dimensions: 97.75” (279cm) x 46” (117cm) x 30” (76cm).
