Designed by Debra Folz

An exploration of wax as a material for usable furniture is alluring both for it’s ability to be cast but also it’s ability to be melted back down to liquid form at any point in it’s life cycle and be recast as something else.

Folz has used an industrial wax with a higher melting point and surface durability than common waxes. The tabletop surface indicates the fusion of pouring the liquid wax over a bed of wax still in bead form. With only a small square of fabric cast into the tabletop, there are no additional internal supports and has been tested to hold 150 lbs.
