The GooseGuss table was created for the East hotel.
JMA adapted the ruins of an old iron foundry to create East in Hamburg, Germany. Most of the design elements were informed by foundry forms and techniques.
While working on the hotel the artist lived in the Gänsemarkt, the old Goose Market. This suggested the gooseneck form of the table... “Guss Metal” in German translates to “cast metal”. "Guss" sounds like "goose".
PROCESS + MATERIALS
The form of the table was hand carved in maple. It was then cast in recycled metal alloys. The castings are then burnished or hand polished. Some variations have wood table tops.
