About the Item

Transit of Venus Round Coffee Table in Black Granite Cast Bronze by Jesse Ede Limited Edition of 7 Pieces + 2AP Dimensions: D 100 x W 160 x H 40 cm. Materials: Black granite and cast bronze. Amongst the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena is when Venus visibly passes in front of the Sun. I was incredibly fortunate to view this event back in 2012 ,as it only happens in paired sightings 8 years apart. The previous transit was 121 years before that back in 1884. The next predicted transit will be in 2117. This solid Zimbabwean black granite base and open-cast bronze plate table pays homage to this special astronomical event. The bronze plate effortlessly swivels 360° creating a kinetic interactive experience. Born in Cape Town, Jesse Ede is a self-taught designer who favours materials and a process-driven approach to furniture design and sculpture. Working primarily in aluminium, stone, bronze, and brass, he looks to celebrate the rawness of uncontrollable outcomes from processes that are uncommonly used. Ede’s childhood was spent at the workbench of his father, an artist, designer, carpenter, and leather worker, schooling him in a wide array of skills and sparking a deep love for craft. For eight years, he worked as an artisan all around the world, including a long stint as a carpenter for a boat-building company in Antigua. Upon returning to South Africa, he opened a small design and manufacturing studio that provided custom interiors and furniture installations for clients in the commercial sector. Ede’s work is the outcome of a great deal of experimentation with open-cast smelting. He favours exposing and highlighting the organic nature of his mediums – manipulating them to expose the contrast between the material itself and the man-made processes that form them into collectible furniture. He sources his materials himself, visiting local quarries to select a piece of Malmesbury slate or granite – the character of which dictates his final design. Every new project sees him taking on a new design challenge and adding to his repertoire of skills.
